@RoninNakomoto@Cyberknow20 Are there better alternatives? Signal doesn't provide the opportunity to form these types of communities. Are IRC channels still an option? I am genuinely asking @RoninNakomoto

#Palestine &#Israel have always represented delicate issues in the #hacktivist community. No wonder that the bursting out of the conflict would have caused reactions. A quick look in X suggests that hacktivists will be busy in the upcoming days. #hacktivism#IsraelPalestineWar
