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

How Drug Gangs Actually Work | How Crime Works ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=y_TV4GuXFo…

Good video with a non-surprising conclusion: punishing people does not work. We must understand where problems arise and try to fix it at the root. The "war on drugs" is a complete failure. Humans do not know how to solve problems it seems. When we observer some "bad" behaviors we must first ask if we are right in labeling them as such, and next question should be: "what creates these behaviors?". #tromlive

tromnews.com/videos/ works again! Same is social.trom.tf/

It is really paradise when all websites work well. #tromlive

We will shut down pass.trom.tf (vaultwarden) and text.trom.tf (etherpad). pass.trom.tf was added more like a test with a warning and only 2 users registered anyways. 1 of whom added 1 entry and the user was contacted to save its entry locally. This service takes more time to properly setup - for example to make sure it is secure, has a 2FA enabled, works with other clients, and more. We do not have the time right now to do all of this and we do not want to provide any service that is not very well tested and that works reliably.

Etherpad (text.trom.tf) is unnecessary when we already have office.trom.tf + files.trom.tf. Both are great office suites and office.trom.tf provides a super easy and fast to setup document editor. It is pointless to have Etherpad that brings nothing new or different from office.trom.tf.

We need useful services that are well setup and maintained, not a lot that are meh. #tromlive

We will go live in less than 7 hours.

TROMcast: To Moderate, Or Not

Today we will discuss about this notion of moderating the Internet content by looking closely at our videos.trom.tf (Peertube) instance and what happens to it. The fact that it is full of nonsense content and why is it that these alternative platforms such as Peertube, get invaded by the worst that the Internet and our society has produced.

Here videos.trom.tf/w/239682f2-fd1f…

#tromimg

Now that Peertube allows us to create a custom homepage, we can highlight the best of Peertube. We are adding more and more to the homepage. We worked for a bit to make it look nice - see for yourself videos.trom.tf/

As a bonus we will add on the homepage a very interesting documentary every week or so. So keep an eye on it! #tromimg
