EDIT: I can't find the earlier thread discussing this, so I must be getting my wires crossed: I've heard that the Arfcom keybase was full of banned members and not for the faint of heart...so it may have been closer to the 8chan end of the spectrum.  This is still evil though, and kicking off Defense Distributed has no similar excuse.

Ultimately I think this is a good thing to get out of the way now.  It reminds us that we need secure, decentralized communications platforms which cannot be censored, and it gives us the actual motivation to build them.  The worst case scenario would have been if they waited until the "real" Kristallnacht to do it.

I’m trying to figure how we were targeted. I’m eating dinner and haven’t had time to think it through fully, but I see three possibilities:

1) The name “Arfcom” is on “the list” of verboten words.
2) Groups created by members of the det_dist and similar groups are being closed en masse
3) The “reloading” channel name, as metadata, caused the group to be flagged.

There’s also the possibility that all communications were being monitored, but I don’t see how that would be technically possible. Even if we assume that it was, very little of what was said there had anything to do with firearms at all. I find that option to be the least likely.

I created it a long time ago, but only started inviting people to it less than a week ago. I’m not aware of any banned members there. I wouldn’t care if there were, but whatever.

I *am* curious how you’ve “heard about” a group that I administer and was the sole member of until a handful of days ago. You must have excellent intelligence sources.

This thread needs to be moved because it's talking about something political and that's verboten.

Maybe make a post about "wood plowing" child rapists or seeing communist tits it would get more traction and our communist overlords won't care.

There was a thread here about it a few days ago linking to keybase.io and inviting people to join the community, and it got a nasty backlash from a few posters.  Was that your thread?  Could there maybe be more than one such community on keybase, and people got their wires crossed?

Nope, that was my thread. I didn’t see any more backlash than usual, considering it was in GD.

Deterrence Dispensed is a collaborative project where people design, build, and show off their homemade guns, then give the plans away for free so anyone can replicate them.

I read somewhere Signal was acquired by Zoom several months ago.

All of the 3d printer groups are falling back to alternate comms.
It's just annoying as fuck because instead of 10 different groups all using Keybase for a single interface and file sharing, you're stuck checking 10 different websites/apps.

Signal has been dead bro. Mainly from all the fudds and rinos who support owning guns. But....

You can't even put links to designs on this site. Or even say what the links name is.

Say where you got a file for a 3d printed detent. You're permabanned and can't talk here anymore. I've seen a 3d print forum thread get deleted because someone asked what thickness to print a glock at.

While this site is getting scrubbed from the internet,the mods are playing the fiddle still trying to appease the fascists that are taking it down.

Q user posting a 3d printable glock is not why they want this site gone. They want this site gone because we speak against them on a site with a name they hate. And evening purging the speech they still hate us for the name.

God help us all.

Its probably been a decade or more since I've fired up an IRC client.

But just for the purpose of disseminating information and hosting a directory of links to various torrents, IRC seems like a pretty low cost, easy to implement solution.

There were all kinds of warnings about Zoom last spring and summer when the virus hit, and millions of people suddenly started working from home/online. Somehow all that got ignored, and Zoom became the defacto video call service.

I would not trust anything to do with them, and have refused to use it at all despite a sudden influx of Zoom links for everything

Saw this posted elsewhere.


No idea how secure it is.

https://matrix.org/docs/guides/introduction

I suspect something like this might work, if it works as advertised.   Though I think we're at the point that the Feds may/will try to track down the physical location of servers that support a particular room to kick down their door and shoot their dog if they don't like the information being shared.  IE gun stuff.

Can location information like that be kept secret?  I dunno.
