I propose we just create our own accounts on the Signal Messenger which is encrypted and secure from prying eyes

Why do I get the feeling this signal thing, whatever it is, requires an iFag type smartphone?

Go to Signal.org and click on the button at the top that says Get Signal. They have Signal for Mac, Windows and Linux as well as for iFag.   

First can we get a background on what you inspect?  You have a high post count and a long time member. 

Does anyone vouch for this member?

I’ll vouch for Mac who vouch’s for Inspector.

I hope this was a sarcastic or tongue-in-cheek comment as Inspector Dave is one of the most respected and long standing members of this forum.
He re-did the whole Kokohead Shooting Complex website among other things.
He actually had a get together in his honor with a number of members on this forum when he departed the State.

I tried making an account through Parler’s website but sign ups are currently unavailable.

My only problem with signal, other than jack Dorsey giving it his thumbs up is that, it is known encryption. Meaning gov alphabet would have more or leas no problem decrypting it. If the encryption method is known to them it is almost trivial for them to brute force it. Meaning you would need something original that they haven't seen before.
My two cents anyway.

Thanks for vouching for me.    I never thought anyone would ever ask that. It’s a valid question, he doesn’t know who I am. But still....

Parler is set to be thrown off their servers sometime this evening by Amazon. Why they put their servers into the hands of a tech giant I have no idea. But that is their stupidity. They probably are finalizing their backups and their plans for getting their new servers online and then restoring. They stated they would be offline for no more than 12 hours but I was in IT for too long to know the best laid plans of mice and men..... So to stop new account creation is part of their backup and restore strategy. They have to stop allowing new content at some point so when they restore they do so back to the same point as where they stopped. Otherwise any new content like new accounts allowed to be created after their final backup would not exist after they restore. It makes sense to halt new accounts until they are back up and running.

Can't trust that inspector guy. He's in real estate. I wouldn't trust him with my used toilet paper.

Hey! You still smell like an Old Fart! 

Besides, my RE license expired on 12/31 so no more RE for me. You can trust me now with your used toilet paper again. Wait....

Will take a look.

So far, I have had no reason for a cell that does more than make and receive calls.  I presume the monthly charge to use one of those poke the screen things is a lot more than my old regular phone.

Seems to be why Verizon and all push the things so hard.

I'm the one who is newish.  I've lurked since moving back home to HI.  Just seeing the state, the state and nation is in now after 40 years away is shocking.  I'm former mil Intel and what the military and government knows, you don't want to know...

We need a safe harbor to regroup, organize, and vote out the political detritus in Hawaii first.  We will never make progress if we don't flip Hawaii.  We might need to go full Kamehameha on these bitches.  Comms is KEY.  Logistics is manageable for HI.

What's your experience?

encryption is end to end so both parties have to have signal installed. Its OK.

Flip phones are under $50 for most brands, normally available in $25-$30 range.

You need to check which service providers have the best reception/coverage for your location/s first.  Then you need to decide on whether you want a plan, or just pay-as-you go.  Pay-as-you-go normally requires paying for a month at a time, and you get charged the full month's fee even if you don't use all the data & minutes of talk.

You need to decide if you need data and text or just voice, as different carriers have different plans and costs for each.

I'd pay for it with cash, and if you need to use a credit card to add minutes/features, use a prepaid VISA funded with cash.  I'd also not order it online with my home or work address (or mom's, or a friend's, etc.). The whole point is to separate your identity from the phone so it can't be linked to you.  If the store asks for personal info, say it's a gift, and the recipient will activate it later.

You might also want to think about getting a model/brand you are familiar with.  It's much easier to find settings, such as disabling GPS.

Here's an example of a Walmart-branded phone that works with T-Mobile 4G networks.

Awesome advice, thanks.  For now maybe we can make a group on Gab? 

Or, maybe it's better we all get a burner to use on signals.  We need to use asymmetrical stragities and tactics, similar to what antifa and BLM are doing.  I don't even like having to post this here. 

We need to be stealthier.

What broswers are better than Chrome?  I've tried them all:
1.  Brave uses up phone resources to mine their erc20 token.
2.  Mozilla, just as liberal
3.  Edge is decent but just as bad as chrome and Firefox
4.  Idk

Had to take a break to go surfing and wash off some negative emotions, but luckily Laniakea was going off today!

I got the Alcatel flip phone and KaiOS is basically android light and infested with Google. The good part is it makes a great replacement for a smartphone if you are trying to break the habit of playing with it every 5 seconds like me. The security issue I noticed right away is that it burns battery super fast when the WIFI is on so you know it is sending information back to the mothership.

Also got a cheap Nokia and it seems way more secure (simple OS and no snapdragon processor) but I had issues with both bluetooth head phones as well as the plug in ones. The call quality was the deal breaker for me, but then I found out there was a significant solar storm on the day I tested it so will have to give it another try.

Read my feedback.  I bought ammo cans from gunguy808 and ammo from itshhowtime808.  I take courses with Mission Bravo with Bob Smith, and Todd from HIFICO, good friends with Drone Services Hawaii.

My great grandfather opened Oahu Market in 1913, he came from Canton in 1860.  My dad's dad co-owned Metronome Music, my grandfather was co owner of Borthwick Mortuary, the chapel is in his name...the Harry Kui Ho chapel, my uncle David Lai was a rocket scientist and studied and worked for Albert Einstein, the UH Science building is named after him.  My grand uncle started Finance Factors.  My family is one of the big 5.

Downloading the windows version now.

Slow DL, must be busy there.

After installing it, Signal seems it wants to link through a smartphone, does nothing standalone on the PC that I can see.
