There isn't much we can do that I can see so far. But I think we need to be aware of all the behind the scene problems that is affecting our freedom to speak and freedom to associate.

This is probably the climate we'll be slogging through for some time.

So -- Everyone --

Secure your online identity if you haven't done!

Web browsers -- consider non-tracking browsers like Duck Duck Go and Tor

Email -- use secure encrypted email services like Proton Mail for all online GC/RadFem activity

Use VPN if it makes sense for you

If you want to blog, here's how to do so anonymously: https://uglyduck.ca/blog-anonymously/

If working with a cloud server, ensure it has good DDOS protection and premium security services

If relying on revenue streams for support, have a Plan B service in place

Keep air gaps between all things GC/RadFem and the entirety of your other online activity to the extent possible

They're not getting rid of us. We're smart, we're strong, and The Peakening is happening -- whether they like it or not.

Hello! I am a books-and-staring-out-the-window-at-birds-gendered-person who doesn't understand the internet. What is an 'air gap'? Is safari safe? Is firefox better? What can people know about me if I visit this site on a laptop without sharing my email? What if I read forbidden feminist works on medium, quillette, unherd, 4W and feminist current? What is VPN and do I need it? What is a cloud server and do I have one? Do they already know who I am if I used my email for reddit?

I know that's a lot of questions. Thank you in advance for any and all answers.

What is an 'air gap'?

it is like siloing. Completely different online IDs for GC. So if you are "Jane Smith" and work in a local nursing home, and go rock climbing as a hobby, and write online about any of these in connection with your real name or job or whereabouts - don't mix any of that with your GC/reddit/saidit ID. Use different emails, phone number (if reqd) for sign ins, different payment methods and so on. Some go as far a different machines, but different IPs will do (see VPN)

What is VPN and do I need it?

when you visit any site it will know the IP address (you can look this up and see for yourself, search "what's my IP"). This could be used to find you. A VPN hides this behind an IP of its own

What is a cloud server and do I have one?

you probably dont have one

Do they already know who I am if I used my email for reddit?

is your email janesmith[at]yourplaceofwork.com ? Otherwise probably not

I'm just loving this. 😄

The cloud server here applies to the site itself (SaidIt), they can have different strengths of DDOS protection and security packages. SaidIt actually weathered the attack pretty well.
