Eynelys, we love you

2/
October was a really hard month for Panquake but we still moved forward. Below are the key campaign metrics. We are now only $23,192 away from capping Phase 2 and moving into the final BETA delivery round. Please help us get there ASAP: panquake.com/donate

3/
In Sept we announced we'd successfully authenticated nodes on our test network & they'd sent received & verified encrypted messages. This month the rest of the authentication service functionality has been built out and tested. As promised, users can be anonymous/unregistered

4/
Every month we transparently publish our (very impressive) @tl_eng stats & metrics. ALL money earned by @talkliberation publications goes directly to supporting the @pan_quake build. So subscribing at talkliberation.com helps to bring Panquake to the world faster

5/
Why is a software development company, spending time & energy on tech and data journalism?
Because the facility for recurring payments/revenue that talkliberation.com provides makes Panquake more sustainable & less dependent upon generosity, & for all of these reasons:

6/
October was the launch of Talk Liberation Investigates & our flagship series #WLDragnet

We smacked straight into the tip of an iceberg & in the coming days & weeks we'll be unearthing the monolith beneath it

Subscribe today if you haven't already: talkliberation.com

7/
With your support we're going to deliver our next generation social media app to the world. Privacy, freedom of expression and data sovereignty are coming your way. We won't stop til we push through Phase 3 & have everything in place to deliver the service quality you deserve.
Thus concluded our 9th public meeting. We have kept our promise of being accountable to our community & keeping them in the know every single month as to our progress. It's amazing that what was only an idea at the beginning of this year is now becoming a reality. Thank you all!

HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT THREAD:

Imagine that you could throw a spanner in the works of Big Tech tracking you and everyone you know, and that you could do it for free, and in seconds.

Would you do it? Are you ready to make change?

We're gonna find out. Read the thread, friends.

1/ Image
Today our team introduced Panquake Me, a one-click free service available NOW that transforms the links you share online by:

* Shortening your link
* Cleaning nasty Big Tech web trackers out of it
* Archiving the original content

Behold the cuteness:

We know how dire things have gotten online. We've heard your cries for help.

So we carved a slice of technology out of the Panquake build so that you can take steps to immediately protect yourself and your community, right NOW.

You may have noticed the recent tweet by @JohnKiriakou endorsing PQ.

John is one of the first people in the world to see the PQ application working & described it as 'futuristic'.

It was huge for us to get to demo PQ for him in this way & we can't wait til you can see it too!

Ppl constantly ask me for my opinion on what is going on. When I give it, many assume I am coming from a fixed position. Actually, every single day I consume the following:

Fox, CNN, ABC, NBC, BBC, DW (German), Kyiv Independent, NZ Herald, TASS, PBS, RT

+ @ASBMilitary & co

1/?
I also watch all the press conferences, be they pro or anti Western position

When you review such a spectrum of media content on a regular basis you see the way single events are skewed not just by one of two sides, but by every single outlet

They ALL have their own slants

2/?
I also watch both left & right wing podcasts & you tube shows. I follow & watch people I like and ideologically align with AND those who I don't, every single day

Living in Russia, I also have real world experience/perspective

My opinions reflect my analysis of the whole

Here it is! January Public Delivery Thread!

Sorry this is a couple of days late due to IRL hiccups with filming but the presentation was prepared on time so all stats are accurate as of Jan 31st

Read on for all the news about our progress over the course of the last month

1/
We are in Phase 3 (of 3) for funding @Panquake. Once we hit the target, we won't need to fundraise anymore & BETA will be delivered!

We're still accepting BETA applications here: panquake.com/5000

@tl_eng catapulted forward with @seanodiggity's GETTR investigation

2/
As for @Panquake dev progress last month we revealed our interface had functioning elements in place. This month, the core structural components are basically complete

Our drag & drop panels move around & reset correctly & are now customizable - resizable, pop-outable & more

Went to check out GETTR.

First thing I see: the site uses tracking cookies.
Second thing I see: it collects email addresses & phone numbers.
Third thing I see: Advertising on its dashboard.

That isn't alternative social media.

It's the same old data surveillance rehashed.
Having a closer look. Here's their privacy policy. Which is basically an anti-privacy policy.

GETTR is registered in the United States & thus subject to US jurisdiction.

So, it's Parler 2.0.
After some lip service to claiming they only collect what you voluntarily give them (incl your SEARCHES!), scroll down a little bit further & find they actually fingerprint your browser, device & router info

(Panquake is engineered to avoid capturing of ANY of this information)

THREAD: December Public Delivery Meeting

Yesterday @seanodiggity & I presented the most consequential developments in the history of our project

In this thread, I'll break it down

Full video: vimeo.com/660014239

1/
Last week, we hit our Phase 2 funding target of 167k and launched Phase 3, where we will raise an additional 500k to complete the service delivery of the product. More details about this later.

Incidentally, to celebrate Phase 3 I got some cool new graphic templates :P

2/
In terms of general campaign progress, we're ecstatic to have the final goalposts in sight and will work to meet the final target as fast as possible.

In the meantime, we are progressing the blockchain build & performing the BETA delivery vetting for our first 5,000 users
