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.

          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?
