If you are worried that yet another billionaire is owning a social (ad) platform (twitter) then we recommend our own social network that connects with millions of people across the fediverse. This is it : social.trom.tf

Fediverse is a network, much like email. So you can register with our instance (website) then you can communicated with everyone in the fediverse.

Our platform is based on Friendica with a custom skin (dark/light and different colors) to make things more modern and simple.

Here are the main advantages:

- it is trade-free (thus you do not have to trade your data, attention - ads -, currency, and so forth); it is purely free
- uncensored (your posts and thoughts are yours, so it is your responsibility for what you post)
- ability to block anyone and delete posts/comments
- it connects with different federated platforms such as peertube, mastodon, pixelfed and so forth (these are blog/video/image platforms)
- you can create big posts (no limitations) + format the text and add inline media
- it supports markdown
- you can follow any RSS source (think about your favorite website, you can simply follow that)
- it can connect with Twitter so you can auto and cross post to your Twitter account or follow Twitter accounts and interact with them
- auto discovery of contacts based on your profile
- several timelines (chronological, based on your activity, or even a global timeline of the fediverse)
- works with Mastodon's API so any Mastodon APP also works with our Friendica
- and more

Here you can find more details about it - trom.tf/social/

These days we have spent some time with our friend @Guillaume . He followed TROM for some 10 years now and wanted to meet us: @Tio , @Sasha and @Georgi .

It feels so real to meet humans. Humans who are aware of the world we have discovered through science, and the stupidity and cruelty of our society. You can have real and important discussions with such people. We are very happy to have met him and we will keep in close touch. He also helps TROM financially via monthly donations. Many thanks!

Tomorrow the work on TROM II documentary will be resumed and in a month or two, we should either finish it or pause the work until we get more funds to continue it. We will keep everyone posted via our Friendica. If you see this message somewhere else tthan Friendica (and you can't even see the awesome photo with us :) ) then please understand that we auto post on Facebook and the like, but our main social platform is the decentralized Friendica at social.trom.tf/profile/trom - anyone can join the many millions of people there! No ads, no data collection, a proper social network. Come join us!

For the first time in many years, our Patreon monthly donations have dropped under 200 dollars a month. This is of course not sustainable for TROM. Unfortunately the financial support for TROM and all of its projects has dropped so much that we cannot continue to rely on it. Of course, every donation counts in a way or another, but we will need to find other ways to support this project. We have a ton of tools, a new big documentary coming out, and more books in the pipeline. But since all that we do is trade-free, we have no place in this society so we rely 100% on the kindness of others to support us.

Unfortunately this has become impossible over the past 2 or so years. But we do not know what the solution can be. Asking for support is perhaps the only power we have right now.

Our materials and tools will always be trade-free, or will not be at all. It is a cruel world we live in, where humans have no chances of doing anything good, unless they trade that. And that makes it not-so-good.

If there are still people out there who see the value of TROM, here's where you can help us financially tromsite.com/donate/ . And to those that keep on donating to us and have in the past, we can only say that the project exists thanks to them. #tromlive
