Decentralization/Federation is the only way forward.

And instead of Discord where we will inevitably all meet up and then get eviscerated all at once, we need more Element/Matrix/riot.im servers that can host a few dozen to a hundred people each. That way when one pulls the plug there's another dozen or ready to distribute to until more servers can take their place.

Ok how do we start? What do we need?

Dedicated servers under our physical control or at a location we can trust that won't get all jumpy at what their hosting.

Domains that will be troublesome to actually try to seize.

I've been looking into this for awhile now on a smaller scale for element servers for my own people. I just thought I'd have more time than a few days to do it and not on such a huge scale.

I'll start working on stuff after I get off-clock from work.

If you do this, don't be a perfectionist about it at first...just get something working so we're all able to keep communicating. Think basic, basic, basic...keep it simple stupid...that sort of thing. We can make improvements once we have something new establish.

You are correct, I've at least got something up quick and dirty. I'll start making improvements in the morning:
