Tired of waiting for Truth Social? Me too. Announcing GAW.Social! Make yourselves at home, Frens!
LET'S GOOoOo
I've been working on this pretty much nonstop since last week. I posted an invite the other day but it didn't get a lot of views.
Well, now there's a website up too, so you can go to gaw.social and read about it and sign up, send your friends there too. Download the app or just run it inside your browser.
Hope you all enjoy it. I feel like this community desperately needs something like this so I decided to put it together and I'm pleasantly surprised with how smoothly it turned out. Check it out!
We don't need another site to divide the ranks
Its private encrypted instant messaging. Not meant to divide but allow closer collaboration rather than just news and shitposting.
What about the glowie that makes his way into the encrypted conversation?
It'll happen. Be careful who you associate with.
Im your faggleberry.
Hijacking:
THIS IS AN OBVIOUS HONEYPOT/PHISHING SCAM. DO NOT USE.
OP is a faggot.
I'm your SauceFag (formerly known as SpellFag).
Many OG anons came from 4chan. Standard parlance for that crowd.
What, you offended?
Sorry, just in a cheery mood because I got done with this
It was funny, it’s the line that sold me. Will check it out as I actually wake up.
How sure are you that this isn't the DuckDuckGo of encrypted instant messaging?
Well this software was developed completely open source for the purpose of giving people the ability to host completely private chats without having to depend on a major provider and trust them not to spy on you.
Matrix does not have any way for admins or anyone else to view encrypted user info or messages.
Do you have a repo somewhere?
The repo for the back end software is here:
https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse
^This. I was able to get in, be patient patriots. Remember WWG1WGA
Competition breeds innovation.
GAW will always have its place. Best of luck in your launch.
Of course. Its a compliment to this place. This isn't a secure platform for private conversations.
I like that you made this. I have a question for you. How hard would it be to make a discord style app. I am working with a concept in my head but dont have the tech skills. Figured I would start with asking this question
That's essentially what this app is, but open-source. I didn't develop it, I just installed it on a server.
Interesting, let me pray on some things and will get back to u. I like that u are doing this. So one final question, who is Jesus Christ to you?
Jesus is king.
Great answer!!! Yes he is 😁
Glow. Harder. Fagg...
Just kidding 😜. Ateast you have a TLS certificate.
I went all out.
I wonder which Snow White supercomputer they'll devote to cracking that one
whichever one they choose, some whitehat anon will accidentally spill covfefe all over it
Wow. looks cool. Keep to learn more. Heard about matrix last year, inspired by necessity.
Oh good, another site where I can put in all of my information, realize no one is actually there, then find out it got hacked by leftist fuckers and all my info got sold to china.
Don't enter any personal info. Username and password is all you need. Same as here. Use a different account name and password and no one can connect the two.

It asks for username, password, and optional email.
Don't fill out your email and it's as anonymous as the info you divulge in discussion. Especially if you use a different username than other places.
It's more like discord than something like Twitter anyways, so you don't really need to fill out a bio and share pics of your life to dox yourself.
Wow. will definitely tell others. Thanks frens.
You're welcome and thanks for spreading the word!
Yes of course.
I really like this! This isn't typically my sort of thing but with GAW, I see lots of discussions that I wish could more easily continue rather than be blasted out the airlock when the post containing the discussion goes cold.
Definitely a great solution to building this community more and not a replacement for GAW win. Maybe a GAW highlight room would be useful? Post links to great posts on here so they have even more exposure when not/no longer pinned.
I would recommend to anyone, dont add your email, just pick a passwkrd you can remember or write it down somewhere. Not saying this isn't trustworthy, but down the road, anything cam happen and the anonymous nature of an optional email is a huge benefit here.
Good tips and I agree about the email and passwords. I don't collect any personal info so there is nothing to hack other than passwords, but if you use a different password for every site (and use a password manager) it doesn't matter. If you forget your password though, an email on your account will allow you to reset it, otherwise you have to contact an admin.
Very cool! How do additional servers get added?
You have to buy a domain, rent a VPS and install the software from Matrix.org. There are also third party providers that will host a server for you.
Looks like you're a pretty good dev. What languages do you prefer?
I'm not really much of a dev as far as coding. I just like Linux and open source software.
I’ll look into it.
I appreciate your efforts but have way too much $ invested in Ts not to wait...!
You can be on both!
Truth social will still be centralized and not anonymous so there's still good reason to be on GAW.social.
Thank you for all your effort! This is awesome.
Sorry for all the doomers and cynics. Things have been tough, don't take it personally.
Yeah the paranoia is understandable. I don't blame anyone for being skeptical. Trust will build over time just like it has here.
I hope GAW.social can be a complimentary service to ga.win. This site great for sharing news and memes, but you can't really connect with people on here in a large comment thread and have deep conversations. So I see no reason why both places can't coexist.
ERROR for site owner: Invalid site key
I tried. Sorry but Gab wouldn't let me in.
What are you talking about?
I attempted to create an account with a valid username and password, but all I get is errors.
It's not as social or fun as I hoped.
My bad. Its a bug with the captcha. I'll disable it and you can try again.
Cool. That now works. I'm in.
Should be working now.
Launched fine for me?
