This Twitter thread is going to raise half a million dollars

Panquake Phase 3 - Final Funding Round!

In Phase 1 & 2 you helped us establish a multi-national company & funded our BETA product build

NEXT: we'll fund hiring & training support staff & launching/marketing Panquake!
Each time a Phase 3 donation is made, I will announce it on this thread.

This thread will remain pinned to the top of my timeline until Phase 3 is complete, so that our many thousands of supporters can keep track of our progress!

Who would like to kick this off? :D
2021 was a hell of a year - at every turn, interests set against social media user freedom reared their ugly heads

Twitter tried to stop us. Didn't work
PayPal tried to stop us. Didn't work
DDOS networks tried to stop us. Didn't work

The people united can never be defeated!
The thirst of social media users to enjoy an ethical platform that doesn't collect or sell their data; doesn't arbitrarily censor their speech, or gaslight them with manipulated engagement metrics, is simply too strong

So is our desire to deliver

Panquake is coming!
Designed & build by some of the best talent there is, in 2021 we already achieved proof of concept for:

* the Panquake encrypted user data store - your data, staying on your device
* the P2P network - where user devices connect to each other to pass messages through the network
What was only an idea less than a year ago, is now a functioning prototype.

We showed off our gorgeous, slick and intuitive interface design to select independent media and industry pros. They were blown away by it.

The completion of Phase 3 means you'll get to see it too!
We promised in Jan we'd show up every single month to transparently report our campaign & build progress to our community

We did exactly that!

December 23rd we have a banger of a delivery for you, to round out the year

(Each 2022 monthly delivery will be added to this thread)
We don't sit around & hope for a brighter future

We band together and make it happen

Every single day we are getting closer to social media liberation, because of the effort, sacrifice and commitment we all put in together

With that said, let the Phase 3 fundraising begin! 🥰
New Campaign Update added to announce Phase 3!

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

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
