<big>'''WEFringe group email lists''' are a simple way for everyone in Windsor/Essex freedom and prepper communities to openly gather and share information, and inclusively socialize, manage, and organize ourselves in a fair and easily accessible medium.</big>
 +
 
 +
No one can keep up with the endless social media platforms, and some people don't use social media, or even email - and that's fine.  Whatever may or may not be used, email groups remain the lowest common denominator that most people have, whether frequently checked or not.
 +
 
 +
The open public WEFringe email groups (listed below) are an equalizer in that anyone may use them without a gatekeeper controlling the collective secret list of emails via [https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_carbon_copy blind carbon copy] (BCC).  Members' email addresses will be shared with the group when they participate by sharing content, posting or responding to the email groups.
 +
 
 +
WEFringe groups will send members emails as well as the groups' archives may be followed and searched on the [https://FreeLists.org FreeLists.org] host service website.
 +
 
 +
Private group email lists may also be created, closed off from the public, limiting access to those invited and/or trusted requesting access.
 +
 
 +
These group email lists may serve some of our needs for diverse* local communities to survive in the age of global tyranny under the ruling class' rigged global enslavement systems.
 +
 
 +
: <nowiki>*</nowiki> ''Diverse means there's a wide range of topics covered by several email groups for our many local communities.  And we don't discriminate for any reason.''

 +
=== History ===
 +
 
 +
After trying to set up social media platforms and running into a lot of confusing hurdles, the shift now is to resorting to the lowest common denominator, [https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/LISTSERV Listerv] email-list-groups, to help better organize our local freedom and prepper communities (as were done in animation and Burning Man communities 20+ years ago).
 +
 
 +
In 2022 [[Jason Carswell|Jason 'Santa' Carswell]] researched extensively, though not conclusively, to find the most secure email group solution to provide privacy, security, and sustainability.  Of few decent options, the best seems to be [https://FreeLists.org FreeLists.org], also utilized by the truth-seeking, free-thinking, anti-corruption, deep-state-exposing friends operating highly recommended [https://WikiSpooks.com WikiSpooks.com].

 +
== Security fair warnings ==
 +
 
 +
=== There are no guarantees of online security. Ever. ===
 +
 
 +
'''Do not expect absolute privacy ever,''' but expect these groups to be superior to the [https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Technocracy technocracy] (Facebook, Google, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, etc.).  No matter what precautions we take, as a group we are always potentially vulnerable'''***''' - whether by infiltrators, a single unwary person, or many compromised folks - or weaknesses in our technology'''***''' - or via the tyrannical [https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatocracy corporatocracy] surveillance and censoring apparatus.
 +
 
 +
All of these "'''open email groups'''" are open for anyone to join, including infiltrators, until something forces a change.
 +
 
 +
=== More privacy and security ===
 +
 
 +
If/when necessary, we can create '''private groups***''' to better secure limited access for those we trust, by invitation or by request.  Private groups may be openly listed here or remain hidden from the public.  Security issues'''***''' will always exist, but much harder to breach, '''private group memberships are not open to the public'''.
 +
 
 +
: <nowiki>***</nowiki> ''Both the open/public '''and''' closed/private email groups have security issues (just like all communications) and no guarantees that we'll ever be free from corporatocracy surveillance - whether by infiltrators, individuals, or groups - or by vulnerabilities in our technology, including but not limited to our operating systems, software, spyware, browsers, browser addons, email clients, site platforms, web hosts, [https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_service_provider Internet service provider] (ISP), controlled [https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network VPN]s, etc.''
 +
 
 +
=== Courage! ===
 +
 
 +
Despite the potential surveillance and tyranny, we must continue with courage, rationally cautious but not paranoid, and prepare for the worst while hoping for the best.

== Open email groups ==
 +
 
 +
=== Email filters and folders management ===
 +
 
 +
It's easy to be overwhelmed by avalanches of emails without filters, folders, and/or separated email accounts.
 +
 
 +
Perhaps we can start novice, advanced, and expert classes on how to better use computers, manage email, interact on social media sites, and search or navigate the Internet - securely, privately, and with prepping, freedom, and resistance to tyranny in mind.

==== Financing a private secure community-based email system ====

 +
Perhaps in time, before it's critically needed, we can have deeper discussions about financing and/or setting up a private secure community-based email system (and other communications tools) that we can trust more than anything other options.

These initial categories/classifications are a good initial start - and anyone may create their own group email lists in time (15 characters max), preferably with the "'''''WEFringe-'''''" prefix for unity, clarity, organized consistency, and professionalism - anticipating that we may scale up with greater numbers.  The organization and purposes of these groups may evolve over time, especially if groups fork into more specialized topical sub-groups.  We may discuss distinct and consistent nomenclature for private group names.
  
* WEFringe-Announ@FreeLists.org (very low traffic)
+
=== FreeLists.org ===
*:: '''''Only''''' announcements as they relate to our local communities.
 
*:: Do not share memes, news, personal info, photos, socialising, trivia, etc.
 
* WEFringe-Action@FreeLists.org
 
*:: Action, activism, activities, and events for our local communities.
 
* WEFringe-Fun@FreeLists.org
 
*:: Entertainment, fun, humour, memes, and music for our local communities.
 
* WEFringe-Global@FreeLists.org
 
*:: Global news we cannot change nor affect, and related discussions.
 
* WEFringe-Local@FreeLists.org
 
*:: Local news we are affected by (local, provincial, national), may do something about, and related discussions.
 
* WEFringe-Plans@FreeLists.org
 
*:: Managing, organising, and planning for our local communities.

*:: Communications, media, networking, outreach, and publishing for our local communities.
 
* WEFringe-Social@FreeLists.org
 
*:: Free-form social hangout discussions where anything goes.
 
  
These classifications are a good start and anyone may create their own in time, preferably with the "''WEFringe-''" prefix for unity, clarity, organisation, and professionalism.  The organisation and purposes of these groups may evolve over time.

=== Ethical group management ===
  
 +
Not only should there be no "leader" of these groups, it will be absolutely necessary to spread out the management by recruiting co-moderators.  More importantly, everyone should consider themselves part owner and thus responsible for these self-regulating communities.  Do not rely on the moderators to call out problems - but also don't escalate drama.  If needed, we may create '''WEFringe-Arbitr@FreeLists.org''' for arbitrating issues if/when they arise.  As a community we can develop as necessary few hard rules with more loose guides (along with various explanatory examples).
 +
 +
Bottom-up '''[[FOEPATCH inclusive social management]]''' may be new to folks and, as with any system, of course there will be kinks to be worked out - but it is what is absolutely needed to fight the top-down tyrannical corrupt matrix of rigged systems.  '''[[FOEPATCH inclusive social management]]''' can work for all communities large and small: email groups, social media, governments, and resistance organizing.

== Guidelines ==
  
After trying to set up social media platforms and running into a lot of confusion, I'm now resorting to the lowest common denominator, email-list-groups, to organize our local resistance communities, just like we did in animation and Burning Man communities 20+ years ago.
+
: ''Please feel free to help improve these.''

=== Group email list etiquette ===
=
 
Just went for a walk with Winton.  He still has some yellow banner fabric for whenever.  He and I both wonder if we protest too much, we might discredit ourselves, could be more productively focused on other things, and/or we don't want to tap out or burn out our folks.  I don't care too much about being "discredited" (his phrase) with Turdo already doing so, think we can organize to do more than just one thing at a time to represent and pushback against all tyrannical fronts, and if there's nothing else going on I can't see why not do something if folks are up for it.  I'm still all in for this one.  I'm working on a first draft of a community reorganizing proposal to open up so others may soon help improve.
 
Lightning strikes twice in the same place.  Same Tim Hortons last night Bruno, Vincent, Sophia, and I hung out for hours last night too.  Regarding naming  the email groups, we came up with a few options, along with a long list of potential groups - though to start we'll only have a handful and can expand organically as necessary.
 
  
"Windsor Freedom Alliance Canada" is really long.  My "Maple Fringe" is longer than Sophia's "Fringe Folks".  Last night I came up with a short "WEF" = Windsor Essex Fringe.  We could extend it to WEFringe or WEFFF (Windsor Essex Fringe Freedom Fighters) or something if folks thought it confusing.  Winton thought it was an inside joke folks might not get.  I say everyone in the group would get it or soon learn about it.
+
: ''More coming soon.''
Assuming you like any of the names, the email list names would be as short and clear as possible:
 
WEFringe Announcements      = very low trafficWEFringe Communications      = media, creatives, and arts; request / invite only
 
WEFringe Fun      = memes, music, silliness, planning social drinking, whateverWEFringe Global
 
      = only news, events, and politics
 
WEFringe Local      = only about what affects us directly, and what we can affect
 
WEFringe Planning      = request / invite only
 
WEFringe Social      = anything goes, likely heaviest traffic
 
  
All the groups would be open to anyone to join, including infiltrators, but the limited access would require passing the trust / request / invite stage.
+
listserv etiquette</br>
Examples of other potential groups in the near or far future might include:Faith / SpiritualityFinanceFood / GardeningHealthLawfarePreppingResearch / Skepticism / Analysis
+
https://DuckDuckGo.com/?q=listserv+etiquette
Feel free to suggest some new ones or better naming ideas.
 
In time some groups may split, like communications, media development, arts and creative projects will hopefully become strong separate groups with much overlap.
 
  
I have little interest in some groups, but still know they're important - and I don't want to be the only person making groups.
+
group email etiquette</br>
I think all new groups should first be discussed in planning and in announcements before they're even created with consistent titles.  All groups should be listed in announcement footers and/or posted online with rules, guides, and other info mirrored across FreedomAllianceCanada, Projex.Wiki, StandUpWindsor, etc.  Professional tight organizing and management of this not only means we're serious with our shit together, but it also keeps us organized and better able to scale up with more people.
+
https://DuckDuckGo.com/?q=group+email+etiquette
> The purpose I guess is just to let people know we're still here and not going away until things change. Personally I think signs depicting things that once appeared as conspiracies now have proof that they are facts. We can't wake others up with aggression but rather education in my opinion.
 
Excellent point. I'll draft another post to ask for bold, clear, concise FACTS to throw at the public.
 
I'm going to make a WEFFF sign to parody the WEF for Sunday.  Perhaps it or something like it can become a logo.  I still have some older signs.  Can I make a nice one for you? Just let me know what you want it to say.

* ''Respect the time and attention of people you are sharing with.'''
 +
* '''Avoid [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spamming spamming] just links or too much.'''
 +
** Always provide relevant context. (Why, what, when, who, source, etc.)
 +
** Always explain why you're motivated to share this specific content.
 +
** Collect related content together in a single email whenever possible, rather than spam with multiple emails on the same topic.
 +
** You will be spanked if you spam too much and/or do not provide context for links you share.
 +
* Provide context that may not be self-evident with your text, images, videos, audio, links, etc.
 +
** Links require descriptions (article, information, online store, opinion piece, video, website, etc.).
 +
* Sharing information is encouraged from open email groups to other groups and platforms.
 +
** Groups: Belle River, Freedom Alliance Canada, Leamington, Maidstone, Stand Up Windsor, [[Recommended websites|etc.]]
 +
** Platforms: Facebook, Friendevu, SaidIt.net, Signal, Telegram, [[Recommended websites|etc.]]
 +
** Sharing information is frowned upon from any future private email groups that anyone may start.
 +
* When copy+paste sharing content:
 +
** Mirror from other social media using common sense, permission, and/or respect for privacy.
 +
** Include original sources (ie. Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and credit authors when applicable.
 +
** Folks won't visit links on social media they don't use (ie. Facebook, Twitter, etc.).
 +
* '''When sharing videos provide context and state:'''
 +
*# Why you you want folks to watch it.
 +
*# What the video is about.
 +
*# What the video is titled.
 +
*# How long the video is.
 +
*# When specific timestamps require focused attention.
 +
*# Who created, produced, and authored it.
 +
* Maintain contiguous threads and only start new conversations for new discussions or when it's practical to do so.
 +
* Set up email filters and/or folders to better manage your email, including these WEFringe groups.

Folks won't need to search through memes and social banter to read the news.</br>
 +
Folks won't need to sift through noise to focus and plan action events.</br>
 +
Folks won't need a "leader" to gate-keep or distribute announcements.</br>

Folks might just post announcements - and that's fine.</br>

Folks might just organize actions, group management, and create media - and that's fine.</br>
 +
Folks might just stick to their social media platforms - and that's fine.</br>

WEFringe group email lists are a simple way for everyone in Windsor/Essex freedom and prepper communities to openly gather and share information, and inclusively socialize, manage, and organize ourselves in a fair and easily accessible medium.

No one can keep up with the endless social media platforms, and some people don't use social media, or even email - and that's fine. Whatever may or may not be used, email groups remain the lowest common denominator that most people have, whether frequently checked or not.

The open public WEFringe email groups (listed below) are an equalizer in that anyone may use them without a gatekeeper controlling the collective secret list of emails via blind carbon copy (BCC). Members' email addresses will be shared with the group when they participate by sharing content, posting or responding to the email groups.

WEFringe groups will send members emails as well as the groups' archives may be followed and searched on the FreeLists.org host service website.

Private group email lists may also be created, closed off from the public, limiting access to those invited and/or trusted requesting access.

These group email lists may serve some of our needs for diverse* local communities to survive in the age of global tyranny under the ruling class' rigged global enslavement systems.

* Diverse means there's a wide range of topics covered by several email groups for our many local communities. And we don't discriminate for any reason.

WEFringe origins

History

After trying to set up social media platforms and running into a lot of confusing hurdles, the shift now is to resorting to the lowest common denominator, Listerv email-list-groups, to help better organize our local freedom and prepper communities (as were done in animation and Burning Man communities 20+ years ago).

In 2022 Jason 'Santa' Carswell researched extensively, though not conclusively, to find the most secure email group solution to provide privacy, security, and sustainability. Of few decent options, the best seems to be FreeLists.org, also utilized by the truth-seeking, free-thinking, anti-corruption, deep-state-exposing friends operating highly recommended WikiSpooks.com.

WEFringe name

The WEFringe name for the group email lists solves the need for short recognizable titles, while jesting at Justin Trudeau's "small fringe minority", satirizing the globalists' W.E.F., and is clearly explained in the following backronym...

Windsor
Essex
Freedom
Restoration
Inclusive**
Networking
Group
Emails
** Inclusive means anyone may join and openly participate (including infiltrators). We can also create closed/private email groups as necessary. And we don't discriminate for any reason.

Security fair warnings

There are no guarantees of online security. Ever.

Do not expect absolute privacy ever, but expect these groups to be superior to the technocracy (Facebook, Google, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). No matter what precautions we take, as a group we are always potentially vulnerable*** - whether by infiltrators, a single unwary person, or many compromised folks - or weaknesses in our technology*** - or via the tyrannical corporatocracy surveillance and censoring apparatus.

All of these "open email groups" are open for anyone to join, including infiltrators, until something forces a change.

More privacy and security

If/when necessary, we can create private groups*** to better secure limited access for those we trust, by invitation or by request. Private groups may be openly listed here or remain hidden from the public. Security issues*** will always exist, but much harder to breach, private group memberships are not open to the public.

*** Both the open/public and closed/private email groups have security issues (just like all communications) and no guarantees that we'll ever be free from corporatocracy surveillance - whether by infiltrators, individuals, or groups - or by vulnerabilities in our technology, including but not limited to our operating systems, software, spyware, browsers, browser addons, email clients, site platforms, web hosts, Internet service provider (ISP), controlled VPNs, etc.

Courage!

Despite the potential surveillance and tyranny, we must continue with courage, rationally cautious but not paranoid, and prepare for the worst while hoping for the best.

" I'd rather die on my feet, than live on my knees. " ~ Emiliano Zapata

Open email groups

Email filters and folders management

It's easy to be overwhelmed by avalanches of emails without filters, folders, and/or separated email accounts.

Perhaps we can start novice, advanced, and expert classes on how to better use computers, manage email, interact on social media sites, and search or navigate the Internet - securely, privately, and with prepping, freedom, and resistance to tyranny in mind.

Financing a private secure community-based email system

Perhaps in time, before it's critically needed, we can have deeper discussions about financing and/or setting up a private secure community-based email system (and other communications tools) that we can trust more than anything other options.

Recommended tools

  1. Linux Mint is certainly better than Microsoft's Windows or Apple's macOS
  2. Brave Browser is certainly better than Google's Chrome browser for general use
    and LibreWolf is the most secure browser
  3. Brave Search is certainly better than Google Search engine
  4. Tutanota is the most secure free email with end-to-end encyrption
  5. LibreOffice is certainly better than Microsoft's Office suite

These initial categories/classifications are a good initial start - and anyone may create their own group email lists in time (15 characters max), preferably with the "WEFringe-" prefix for unity, clarity, organized consistency, and professionalism - anticipating that we may scale up with greater numbers. The organization and purposes of these groups may evolve over time, especially if groups fork into more specialized topical sub-groups. We may discuss distinct and consistent nomenclature for private group names.

FreeLists.org

The FreeLists.org FAQ (frequently asked questions) FreeLists.org/wiki/the_faq answers a lot of common questions.

Full documentation of the online administration system is available at FreeLists.org/help. They encourage both admins and subscribers/members to get the most out of their web interfaces and get to know the advantages of exploring the List Management Login and configurable preferences.

General guidelines to configure your list FreeLists.org/help/recommended-config.html. Questions, comments, or to contact visit FreeLists.org/contact.html or email Staff@FreeLists.org. Learn about FreeLists.org, understand their Terms of Service, and their Privacy Policy, before Creating a New List.

Ethical group management

Not only should there be no "leader" of these groups, it will be absolutely necessary to spread out the management by recruiting co-moderators. More importantly, everyone should consider themselves part owner and thus responsible for these self-regulating communities. Do not rely on the moderators to call out problems - but also don't escalate drama. If needed, we may create WEFringe-Arbitr@FreeLists.org for arbitrating issues if/when they arise. As a community we can develop as necessary few hard rules with more loose guides (along with various explanatory examples).

Bottom-up FOEPATCH inclusive social management may be new to folks and, as with any system, of course there will be kinks to be worked out - but it is what is absolutely needed to fight the top-down tyrannical corrupt matrix of rigged systems. FOEPATCH inclusive social management can work for all communities large and small: email groups, social media, governments, and resistance organizing.

WEFringe and social media

WEFringe members are free to copy and paste Internet links and sourced information into WEFringe emails, or inversely, copypasta information from emails to share on social media - obviously with discretion: Do NOT share personal information nor plans outside WEFringe email groups without common sense and/or permission.

The WEFringe sub-SaidIt (SaidIt.net/s/WEFringe) was created as a redundant backup communication option unlikely to ever be utilized.

Reddit-like discussion forums are set up on independent SaidIt.net (here's an outdated InfoGalactic article on SaidIt) so folks may use a non-corporate social media platform controlled by the technocracy (Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Netflix, Reddit, Twitch, Twitter, Wikipedia, YouTube, etc.), including...

Other social media

Freedom folks in Windsor, Ontario, Canada utilize many diverse social media platforms (

Unfinished notes to refine and include

Folks won't need to search through memes and social banter to read the news.
Folks won't need to sift through noise to focus and plan action events.
Folks won't need a "leader" to gate-keep or distribute announcements.
Folks won't need to be involved in topics they're not interested in (creating original content, gardening, parents' protests, technology security, etc).

Folks might just post announcements - and that's fine.
Folks might just organize actions, group management, and create media - and that's fine.
Folks might just stick to their social media platforms - and that's fine.
Folks might not socialize or share news - and that's fine.
Folks might back up these emails easier than sites like Facebook - and that's fine.
Folks might prefer list interactions and archives on FreeLists.org - and that's fine.
