First, please reply if you think you have the skillset needed to set up and maintain this kind of thing. Plan:
1. Set up a SubscribeStar account to pay for server rentals. I'd contribute to it, and I'm sure other would.
2. Since we can envision SubscribeStar getting nuked, set up a crypto wallet. We can do this later and we'll need to pick a good crypto. Likely we'd need someone outside the US to hold the wallet and pay for the server. The server should probably be located in Europe.
3. Set up the rental server to host a SimpleMachine forum and a Mastodon messaging server.
4. Put the server on the onion.
5. Give everyone here the Tor address. The forum and Mastodon service would basically be sitting in hot standby waiting for Catholic sites to get nuked, including Sucipe.
6. Creating a PDF document for everyone to either install the Dissenter browser on their machine, which comes with a TOR browser standard, or to set up a machine to run Tails, which also automatically pushes all web traffic onto the onion.
Phase 2:
Set up our own aggregate node on this dude's software and have it point to the rental Catholic server.
Long term, create an install package for something like a Symology file server that everyone can buy and plug into their home network and create a decentralized network.
I can help fund this, at least the first part. Is there any LInux server side people out there who would be willing to maintain this? Likely it will sit in hot standby for a few years, but it is good insurance.
Note also this guy's stuff bypasses the Chinese Firewall, so it has been proven in an actual hostile environment.
