With a view to maybe meeting up, doing some mutual aid, whatever.

This is probably a disastrous idea, very likely to end badly, probably not safe. All that.

But is there some method/protocol/tech to do it safely?

Not that I'd want to meet anyone that would post on a site like this IRL or anything.

edit: alright alright It's a stupid idea. I am going to post hexbears on lamposts in my local area or something.

edit: maybe not so dumb for rural areas? The priority should be joining local orgs if you’re in an urban area.

      jesus. consider me told. Got the idea from Beau tbh - his subscribers sounded off on twitter state by state. I thought it was horrible opsec and thought there might be a better way.

          OK, meet you in the food court of that mall, that may or may not be within 100 miles of your location, between 10am and 3pm. I'll have a purple feather in my hair. If you don't like the look of me, just stay in the crowd and keep walking.

              Hey thanks, knew there was brilliance in here somewhere lol.

              That's the kind of shit I'm talking about! We should all be intelligent enough at this stage to use whatever tradecraft necessary to keep ourselves 100% safe.

              Do you guys want to work on some method/protocol/concept of how to integrate this with the site? Happy to help in any way, but the person who suggests this shouldn't be the person who implements it, right?

              Got some other ideas about ways that posters here could verify each other, without any risk of doxxing or danger of any kind.

              edit: Yes I was definitely talking about smaller, rural areas when visualising this. The priority should be joining local orgs if you're in an urban area.

          no name for themselves

          good point

          What if you live in Luxembourg or something, no feds, fuck all chuds probably. Maybe chapos in places like that could get the option?

        We all just need to pretend like we showed up. It's not like anyone gonna call each other out. Remember the last meet up with the slip n slide and boogie off? Good times.

      Of course , but there are places where none of that exists. A lot of people in rural areas, where theres nothing, might appreciate what I'm talking about.

      I thought there must be some way, using absolute best practice, of doing something IRL. You could probably decide based on long, detailed pm convos or something, whether someone was legit.

          I mean, I'm doing some community volunteer stuff, shopping deliveries for the elderly during covid. My colleagues aren't exactly up on the latest memes though. They haven't got online brain, basically.

    Go to a DSA meeting and start reciting the copypasta.

    ahem Hello lovely lady. My pronouns are he/him/his. Don’t worry, I’m not like those other cis white men haha. Cis get the bullet! Mayocide! Hehe. You should check out my reddit account. I’ve gotten a lot of karma from owning tankies and doing funny bits. But sometimes I can be a bit of a goofball troll too. Yesterday, I went on the_donald and told those chuds to post hog and they banned me haha! A subreddit enforcing its rules, priceless! Sounds like they need a safe space. Not that there is anything wrong with safe spaces though! I think I’m a lot like the twitter account dril when I troll the chuds. Have you heard of dril? That’s D-R-I-L. It’s a pretty crazy twitter account that says silly stuff that you can repeat verbatim to own people. Corncob haha! You should look it up. It’s dumb but hilarious. Whoops sorry, I shouldn’t be using ableist words like dumb. How careless of me. Anywho, have you ever heard of a band called death grips? PRETTY PRETTY NINE MOTHERFUCKER! Haha that’s a death grip lyric reference. Whoops, now everyone is staring at me because I used my outside voice hehe. What’s that? You need to go to the bathroom? If you’d like, I could follow you to make sure no chuds give you any trouble for going in your preferred bathroom because that is my chivalrous duty. Wait, where are you going?! Just a pint of mouthfeel before you go? Please ma’am, might I just have a microwatt of girldick?
