We are very happy to announce yet another service part of our trom.tf project: TROMchat chat.trom.tf/ See more info here: trom.tf/chat/

We invite you to join and ditch the pesky trade-based chats. Tens of millions are already using this protocol and our TROM team resides there too.

These are our public chatrooms:

#chat:matrix.trom.tf
#tromjaro:matrix.trom.tf
#translation:matrix.trom.tf

Simply add them to your Matrix account as rooms. Simple. And see you there! #tromimg

Oh and if you like what we do, and you can help us financially, please do so here tromsite.com/donate/

Thanks!

Unfortunately our last TROMcast recording was lost...it was a personal mistake (me, Tio) in the way I setup the live. See the explanation here social.trom.tf/display/dbc8dc4…

We are very very sorry because it was a great discussion with Dr. Sophia Moskalenko - you can follow her on Twitter via RSS here bird.trom.tf/sophiamoskalen1 . In the next TROMcast I will try to summarize a bit our discussion. Again, very sorry....

Here's some positiveness tho. These are little bugs. They are not plants/leafs.

TROMfiles files.trom.tf provides as much storage space as iCloud, 5GB. But TROMfiles comes with a proper Office Suite at your disposal, easy to share files/folders, even the ability to create a drop-in upload folder for anyone who wants to upload files to your account; a whiteboard; livechat, file history, photo gallery, music player, file conversion and a lot more. And the collaboration on files is really amazing.

It is crazy to think that us, at TROM, can provide such a service that in terms of features rivals or is better than a service provided by a multi-billion-dollar-company. This is thanks to the Open Source world of software!

Unfortunately most people will not use such services because Apple locks them inside their walled garden, and humans are also too busy or ignorant to ever change anything in their life, even trivial things like hosting their files with a better and free service.

But well....we will continue to provide such tools for those who care. #tromlive

TROM – Get Involved tromsite.com/get-involved/

There are a bunch of ways for any of you to help this project. We are trying to keep TROM as a decentralized project and provide opportunities for anyone to help this project grow. We want you to know that whatever you do for the project is a direct contribution and you are a part of the project as much as any of us are. We want to thank you for helping, although there is no need for that since we work together to grow TROM and its baby projects.

I think this image sums up pretty well the current stupidity, where people fear the vaccines without knowing anything about vaccines.

Doubt is necessary. But uneducated and unfounded doubt, is dangerous.

If the primitive minds of the so rich tribes do not want the vaccines, give them to those poor tribes that need them desperately.

TROM-Cast: Qanon and the Like

We are very happy to announce that we will have a discussion with Dr. Sophia Moskalenko who is "a social psychologist studying mass identity, inter-group conflict and the appeal of conspiracy theories."

And

"After she received her Ph.D from the University of Pennsylvania in 2004, her research has focused on the psychology of radicalization and martyrdom. As a research fellow at the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (NC-START) she has worked on projects commissioned by the Department of Defence, Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of State. "

We will dive deep into the Qanon conspiracy and other similar conspiracies, and touch upon how we can deal with these situations in a realistic manner.

Stay tuned! We will go live at tromsite.com/live/

Some nice news. So we are moving our chats entirely to Matrix. Matrix is like Slack, Whatsapp, Signal, or any such messenger. But perhaps better. It is a proper messenger. Supports encrypted chats, text formatting, emoji (ofc), video/audio calls, you can group rooms into spaces, file-send support with preview, and more. We will soon add it to our trom.tf list of services and showcase it in detail. But the great part is that we have linked it to our old drive.tromsite.com chat, that is a Nextcloud Talk chat.

So we are giving up to the old Nextcloud chat and more to Matrix. But our public chatrooms are still functional. So we get the best of the two worlds.

Therefore tromsite.com/chat will not be closed. Also, our TROMjaro Support chat will not be closed.

It is really great that we can bridge 2 completely different chat platforms together. #tromlive

We added our TROMtext back to TROM.tf text.trom.tf/ because it offers, we think, something more unique: a real time collaboration on text editing that's super fast. We've also added TROMpaste paste.trom.tf/ - this is a very simple tool used to very quickly share any piece of text.

If you memorize the URLs of some of our tools, then it is super easy to access them. Want to send files? SEND dot TROM dot TF. Because it is SEND, hosted by us (TROM), and it is Trade-Free (TF).

Wanna host your files? FILES.trom.tf. Get "social"? SOCIAL dot... VIDEOS dot .... OFFICE dot....and so on.

Actually all you have to do is memorize what you want to do :D. Send, File, Maps, Text, Paste, Memes, Videos, Diagrams, Poll, Search, Office, .... and add trom.tf.

We hope you really take advantage of these tools because they are really useful and trade-free. #tromlive
