CON Network Update/CON-ference Call. YES YOU CON!
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.

- #CON - CIRCLE OF NOISEMAKERS - VOLUNTARYIST SUPPORT NETWORK DIRECTORY UPDATE / CALL TO HELP A FRIEND
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!

A CON discord channel would be awesome! IDK how to set one up or I would. Never done video chat intentionally but there's a first time for everything. Discord has voice chat, which is cool and really clear.
Updated. Cheers man. I will see about setting up a Discord channel. Wish there were an encrypted version, though!
Its not encrypted? I thought it was.
Maybe it is. I guess I was just under the impression it wasn't. Have to look into that.
Discord is not encrypted. Just checked.
But Telegram is. It's a bit less cool than discord, but it'll provide a more centralized comms line.
Yeah, Telegram is actually pretty questionable in regard to security though, as the code is no longer open source, and seems to have backdoors, if I am not mistaken. So far Wickr Me is the best I've found, but I'm not sure many people use it.
I'd be willing to adopt whatever platform the #con needs. If it'll help us help each other out, I'm down.
Also, I've added #con to my watched tags on my ginabot on discord. That way whenever anything is posted with that tag, I'll get a message. Gina is really useful.
Signal is also good.
You got a 3.84% upvote from @upme thanks to @kafkanarchy84! Send at least 3 SBD or 3 STEEM to get upvote for next round. Delegate STEEM POWER and start earning 100% daily payouts ( no commission ).
Hi @kafkanarchy84! Been following you since I joined Steemit a year ago. I too would like to be part of CON, if you will have me. I think I was born an anarchist! If I wasn't then I am sure as hell one now. I am not familiar with Wickr Me, but I will check it out. I am a fanatic about my privacy. Probably why I never used FB. A discord chat channel would be so excellent. As far as I know, my sons and I are the only folks on Steemit residing Nicaragua. It would be nice to have contact with folks with like minds. My information is as follows:
Name: Ceci Castor
Location: Nicaragua
Children: 4 grown sons, 7 grandchildren
Occupation: Retired Nurse/Homesteader
Contact: cecicastor#9739 on Discord
Skills: nurse, builder, architect, writer, gardener, teacher, mentor,
amateur chef, photographer, diabetic specialist, jack of all trades, master of none!
Thanks, @cecicastor! I will add you to the list!
Thank you!
