We have raised 40% of the amount of money we need to support TROM forever. We only accept 5 Euros donations from people, monthly, to make it sustainable.

If you think TROMjaro is cool, our TROM books are well made and scientific, the TROM II documentary is important, and the other 20 or so projects are worth supporting, please consider a donation - tromsite.com/donate/

This is what we do - tromsite.com/

And thank you Paul for your donation and to the other ones who have become monthly subscribers for these past days.

Our TROMjaro Theme Switcher issues have been fixed. Everything should work ok now. Please update your TROMjaro. #tromlive

A reminder that our tromsite.com domain is blocked by Google and thus we cannot send any emails form our tromsite.com domain to any Gmail accounts... We have tried to fix this but so far no luck.

Google is an ad company so better not use Gmail in the first place.

With plenty of good alternatives such as Tuta and Protonmail, among others, there is zero reason to use Gmail if you care about privacy or security.


Thank you Nikhil for becoming the 79th supporter for our 200 for TROM campaign! tromsite.com/donate/ - we need 120 more people to donate 5 euros a month to support TROM forever :). #tromlive

Heads-up, the default theme pack we use for TROMjaro got an update and basically some of the variants do not work anymore. These ones do not work:

Problem is, one of those variants that do not work is the default TROMjaro theme....for now change to a working one.

We will look into it and try to fix it soonish.

Our TROMsite book reader has been updated after a few years of no updates. Now we also have a search, something we wanted to have for so long...


Also improved how the reader works on mobile screens.

So far so great :). #tromlive

Thank you so much Eduard for becoming the 77th supporter of TROM! We run a unique fundraiser for TROM in that we need only 200 people to donate 5 Euros a month in order to support us for the long run.

Distributed support so that it won't put a big toll on anyone, and a limited goal so that we do not get rich.

If you appreciate the so many things that we do at TROM (see tromsite.com) then please consider supporting us.

„This project argues that trade is the origin of most problems: from climate change to slavery, waste and pollution, corruption, crime, you name it. And if we understand the cause, we have a chance to come up with realistic solutions“

=> what kind of solution could this be? I‘m just curious as I couldn’t find any hint on your website. How could a word without trade look like?

I for one started to care more when my videos started to be banned on those platforms, alongside some of my posts. Videos and posts that were educational and I never made any money off of them. So I, being hurt, started to care more about using other platforms. Thus, pain. That combined with my understanding about how these platforms like ytb, twitter, fb and the like operate, that they are in fact businesses/markets and not "networks".

So I think that's one way for people to start to care about changing some of their digital habits: to be extremely pissed off at those platforms, while at the same time have some curiosity to try something different.

It is very difficult, but from my experience what works is to be an example. I moved and gave no fucks about the other platforms so if anyone wanted to follow our TROM project or me, they had no choice but to move too. I made a bunch of people switch to these other alternatives.

Since there are still some people who donate regularly via Patreon or Liberapay for our project, we have added that amount of money to our 200 for TROM campaign, as "people" supporting us. In a way that would be around 76 people out of 200 that we need. tromsite.com/donate/

Not bad. Almost 40% of the support that we need.

If we'll reach 100% then TROM will be sustainable indefinitely.

Does people on Patreon or Librapay donate 5 Euros too?
in reply to Rokosun

No. Some less, some more. On Patreon 8 on average and Liberapay 6...


Thank you Wilf for becoming the 77th supporter for TROM! tromsite.com/donate/ - little by little we may be able to achieve the goal. #tromlive

Massive THANK YOU to the anonymous donation that covers all of our backups for another year! Massive thank you! tromsite.com/trom-backup/

This for sure boosts the confidence around TROM, that there are some people out there who can help out when TROM is in need. Hopefully more updates to come the following weeks about the new video series!

Many thanks!

We are now using the wonderful listmonk.app/ for our TROM Newsletter. Open Source and awesome! A proper self hosted Newsletter system. You can subscribe here newsletter.tromsite.com/subscr…

That being said we have removed the email notifications when new posts are created for all of our websites: tromjaro.com, videoneat.com, directory.trade-free.org, and so forth. This was done because the plugin we were using was discontinued for security reasons, but also because it is not a great idea to send emails like that, from a Wordpress website. And on top of this very very few people were using this feature.

All of our websites have a "follow" page where you can follow them via RSS or the fediverse.

Thank you Wojmir for the 10 Euros donation! Let us remind you that we desperately need help to fund our backups for all of our projects. We need to raise 300 Euros in less than 2 weeks. tromsite.com/trom-backup/

To keep on doing trade-free things in a trade-based world is a fight that requires a lot of struggles, almost like swimming against a tsunami. But what is the alternative? Give up and not do anything? That's by far the easiest solution since the water current will push you into the "normal" direction. But for now we are still trying with TROM. We have reached many thousands of minds and with very little funding required. Thus, if you think TROM is still relevant, consider to support it since I (Tio) cannot push it all by myself.

Big thanks to the few people who are still supporting TROM, financially or not.

TROMnews is finally able to update automatically all of the sources! I have debugged and reported the issue to the developers and they pushed a fix. I had to manually update most sources, daily, for the past 2 or so weeks, which was a pain in the ass. Now everything works automagically.
