New people are signing up. Fedizine is an introduction to the Fediverse for anarchists. It's only a little out of date and still relevant, we think! Please share with your new friends and comrades coming from Twitter or Reddit or wherever! Print out zines and distro it!

Haven is looking for a maintainer!

Haven is an android app for physical intrusion detection, co-launched by the Freedom of the Press Foundation and Guardian Project. It lets anyone use an old android device to detect physical intrusion into their home, office, hotel room, etc. Many anarchists, dissidents, and journalists rely on this app!

Here's the project:

And the issue from the current dev about how a new maintainer could be paid:

We are teaming up with kolektiva members to give a workshop at the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair this Saturday May 27th!!!

"Mastodon and Federated Social Media for Anarchists "

>We all love to hate corporate social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube, but many of us see them as a necessary evil for organizing events, spreading ideas, and socializing. But well-functioning, open-source alternatives already exist and are part of a flourishing online infrastructure that is much more in line with many anarchists’ ideas and interests, including privacy, decentralization, and autonomy. If you’re curious or confused about the fediverse (or not yet convinced) join us.

(CÉDA, room 125, Fr. and Eng.) 1 - 2:45pm

Naturally there will be copies of fedizine as well as a new french translation!

We put together an article on "operational security" for Mastodon users.

Many new anarchists + their friends are coming over to Mastodon, but may not fully understand the different posting privacy levels, what locking your account means, who can see what, etc.

This article tries to cover all the different settings you can configure as a best practice, and also advice on how to use your Mastodon account safely given your personal goals and situation!

Typos or feedback welcome!
