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!

Anti-competitive behaviour, a genuine mistake or AI incompetence?

The platform you're using right now granted the platform we are building a new name

Then when we used it, instantly & "permanently" banned BOTH our old & new account

Will they fix it? That's up to you. Retweet!
It is the nature of the AI beast that prevented me from using any keywords that might stop the above tweet being seen.

But here's the receipts..

THREAD

I see you and I hear you:

Everyone who is seeing the writing on the wall and screaming for Panquake even more urgently than ever before

So here is a few notes about what is happening with the project right now behind closed doors....

1/
The reason I am so quiet on Twitter is because we are busy accelerating the Panquake build to our maximum capacity. Our dev team (which spans 5 time zones) spends hours & hours every day implementing functionality, building out infrastructure, documenting & release planning

2/
This time last year I was tentatively reaching out to people I wanted to recruit onto the project (incl @seanodiggity) and now 12 months later, we have established operations in multiple countries & are looking at a functioning (albeit not yet dressed) Panquake user interface

As always, first comes the Panquake campaign updates!

This is the month we will cross the rubicon. Panquake Phase 2 (of 3) funding is at 94%!

We are only $9,947 away from launching our final phase - the Panquake delivery phase!!!

Help us help you: panquake.com/donate

For the build team, November was all about:

* Security & Cryptography
* Scaleability
* Ensuring multiple Panquake users can share devices if they want
* Account deactivation, reactivation & restoration functions

+ a super duper side project that I'm about to show you!!

Nearly everyone understands how dire the world situation is & how dark the future is but far fewer connect those realities to an extremely advanced underlying system of control that exists to ensure that no one - individual, organisation or population - can diverge from this path
What I am telling you is that we are living in the net effect of that system having control. Some will tell you that system is capitalism, others will say it is technocratic, or geocentric, or just a moral deficiency, the nature of humankind, but it's not - its an architecture
An architecture that was designed, consciously constructed, built, tested and honed, refined, in this case across generations and at the largest imaginable scale. I'd say global, but now that system's aspirations & view have expanded even beyond the limitations of this planet.

PSA: Talk Liberation Investigates is currently working on #WLDragnet Part Two

A long form deep dive investigative piece exposing Pentagon & DoD contractors, US Air Force Cyber Command & private sector

Throughout this process we're being attacked & smeared relentlessly online.
Hashtags we post to are bombarded for hours on end with the most depraved lies imaginable, to the tune of 100s of smear tweets per day.

Our reputations are attacked. Our friends & colleagues are being smeared just for knowing us. Every possible tactic is employed to distract us
Any activist or journalist worth their salt goes through similar online targeting, to greater or lesser degrees.

Seasoned followers of our work recognise the smear operations for what they are & know that the smears are deliberately timed to undermine the information we release
