What's up, CONian warriors?

I wanted to post an updated #CON directory today as well as talk about some new potential "projects" for the network.

For those that don't know, CON (Circle of Noisemakers) is a worldwide network of Voluntaryists supporting one another when support is needed, and using our voices to make folks aware when one of our members is being harrassed by the state. Most importantly, the network is designed to be decentralized, and used autonomously and freely by each individual user. There is nothing "special" here. Just a very simple idea to help keep us safe, happy, healthy, and free.

LEARN MORE ABOUT CON:

New members.

New to the CON Network Registry are @cryptic-cynic, and @ideafarm. Welcome!

CONference Call.

Just for fun and to kind of promote the networking effect a bit, I am entertaining the idea of having a large video call featuring whomever wishes to join. Topics to be discussed are of course: VOLUNTARYISM and anything related. I'm thinking something casual and we'll just see what kind of conversation ensues. What do you guys think? If you are interested in participating in this, please let me know in the comments.

How to join the CON registry and how to use it.

It's pretty easy. Just have a look at the entries below, and post your own in similar fashion in the comments section of this post. Having an encrypted chat app is a big bonus (Wickr Me, Signal, etc), but is not necessary. A discord handle might also be useful. The network's purpose is to basically just...well...be a network and you can use it however you want. My vision is for making noise online and off, including to mainstream media, when one of our members is being harassed by the state. Also, for free and uninterrupted trade, communication, and support. Finally, I hope the network will connect people in their own local areas, as having good neighbors who care about us and our families is ultimately the best "insurance policy" there is.

I want to say thanks as well to all those who helped @cryptic-cynic last time when he let us know he was in a pinch. He was able to pay his phone bill and all the support really seemed to lift his spirits a bit. This is a perfect example of how the network can be used.

IMPORTANT: Use this directory at your own discretion. This is simply a tool and not a verification of the character of every individual on the list. Though I know many of the individuals personally, you'll of course have to build trust yourself, as you see fit, and take on the responsibility of the results of connections made through this network

Thanks! Until next time, keep making noise, and don't forget to use the #CON tag in your posts!
