Check out our latest project: Tryst: Ethical Advertising for Escorts
Sex workers deserve the same services and rights as anyone else, Tryst is here to raise the bar. Run and developed by sex workers and technologists, we've put together an advertising platform which puts escorts first.
Taking beta testers now :) https://tryst.at/
We've just hit 100k users over on Switter! @AssemblyFour have some super exciting news we'll be announcing in a few days. Stay tuned Switthearts!
Switter cofounder @lolahunt will be taking part in an awesome AMA over on reddit this Thrusday.
Wondering about Switter, Sex Work or FOSTA/SESTA in Aus? Now's your chance to ask! She'll be online answering questions Thursday over on https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/ @j and @e will also be joining to answer any questions you may have. :D Hit us up!!
We've switched to our own mail server for better privacy and cost effectiveness (we spent $500 on emails last month!). Email deliverability actually looks better so far so users shouldn't experience any issues.
Our online security workshop is kicking off soon (2pm pdt/5pm edt)
If you wish to attend DM me for a link!
Sorry for that unscheduled downtime, we're back!
Hey Melbourne, Aus! We're hosting a free Security Workshop this Wednesday.
A few of the things we'll be covering are: social media, operational security (how to separate your identities, domain privacy), online security (what to look for in dodgy websites, things to check - are they a US based company, if they take credit card data are they using TLS), your rights when you get arrested and searching of devices internationally

[SWITTER MAINTENANCE]
Switter is going down for maintenance. We'll be back in 5-10 minutes.
[SWITTER MAINTENANCE]
We'll be down for about 5-10 minutes at 4:45 PM AEST / 11:45 PM PDT / 6:45 AM UTC for a database server upgrade.
We need to restart the master of all the cats in the cluster which shouldn't cause downtime but.. who knows?
Just a reminder - Switter has a really awesome block button which can be used if you no longer want to engage with someone.
We thank you for reporting the bad eggs but please ensure that when you are reporting someone they are actually breaking Switter's rules. <3 You can find Switter's rules here: https://assemblyfour.com/switter/code_of_conduct
And we're back up with only 15min of downtime.
Switter is going down for 20-30min for a server migration. We will be back! Follow @SwitterSocial on Twitter for updates.
T-5 minutes to Switter maintenance!
