Deviant Ollam @deviantollam@switter.at
Sex Worker ally and frequent advisor, typically on matters related to either technology or (more often) physical security & covert entry. Yes, honestly.
Sending greetings, hugs, and support to the community. I'm a hacker ally to sex workers, known mostly either for making this shirt...

...or making this blog post...

...or for teaching folk how to stay safe in an unsafe world. Don't believe anything i say until you verify my bona fides through others (such as SWOP Behind Bars, SWOP USA, etc)

I’ve stepped down as a moderator of @SwitterSocial@twitter.com, I know longer can moderate whilst I’m battling depression. I need to focus on staying alive.

I wrote a post on the first 50 days of Switter from my perspective and my real identity, and cover FOSTA/SESTA, the stress of running Switter, getting kicked off Cloudflare and the DDOS attack we got hit by last week.

RT @Maggie_McNeill@twitter.com: "The intent behind the FOSTA bill was to combat sex trafficking..."
No, it wasn't. Why do reporters foolishly conflate propaganda about intent with ACTUAL intent? The purpose of #FOSTA was & is to censor the internet, harm sex workers and silence sex worker activists. https://twitter.com/cfpdx/status/996045880502444032

...if you opt to attend and anyone asks if you signed up in advance when you arrive, you can simply say "Deviant extended us an invitation" and that will be sufficient.
Rather last minute, but I wanted to mention it here, in my continued commitment to connecting the Hacker and Sex Work communities.
This is a free event I'm running in Seattle with opportunities to learn interesting skills and hear from someone who faced persecution and political prison... and who escaped!

My next website is going to have a link to my Reddit profile where most of my comments and posts are on r/politics. Anyone not in line with progressive thought is not welcome in my pussy.
How about adding #Switterpated ?
#Switterpated = Someone you would like the meet.
Fifty Thousand Members.
Five Zero Zero Zero Zero.
Three Weeks.
(If I waited a little, we could've also celebrated 400,000 statuses)
Switter just passed fifty thousand members.

Hey #switter fans, we're still recovering from our network issues - listing and forums won't be immediately available. Please 🐻 with us #switterops
Hey, we're recovering right now but are dealing with extra load as all clients are catching up, apologies!
Attempting to oppress people often pushes them further into the role of a fighter.
They want to squash and silence sex workers, but look at all the power that has grown out of a communal need to survive. People have become a political force of rebellion just by existing.
