Submitted by Scallywag on June 1, 2016

If your part of an anarchist/activist group what do use to be able to communicate with them, when it's not possible to be meeting regularly?

For instant messaging I would suggest www.pidgin.im.
It allows also an encryption plugin.

https://whispersystems.org/ uses good encryption, and is significantly easer to use than gpg/pgp

https://telegram.org/

and

https://www.whatsapp.com/

are other options, although they may not use the most secure type of encryption on all messages

brilliant though wouldn't use it to keep info safe.

i'd say use signal, chatsecure, riseup... everyone has to be on the same platform tho.

There are none.

They said Ned Ludd was an idiot boy
That all he could do was wreck and destroy, and
He turned to his workmates and said: Death to Machines
They tread on our future and they stamp on our dreams.
