An inclusive Lemmy network for progressive preppers; inclusive community for all women, LGBTQIA+, and men. Our goal is to provide a place for like-minded individuals to come together during trying times & share ideas about prepping, homesteading, home security, activism, legal self defense/hunting, & more.

Wanted to make a place for everyone to use given that Reddit has started bowing to censorship demands and threatening paywalls. We also have a private encrypted Signal group and maintain resource documents within an encrypted drive; please message me here if you're interested in access!

Thanks, in true prepper fashion, we have a back up plan!

Actually we have pretty good redundancy right now for Reddit; Lemmy, Discord, Signal and a old fashioned forum/web board. Pretty soon we will develop our own semafors, smoke signals and perhaps our own radio frequency. Do not underestimate us.

We do have quite the ham radio enthusiasts. Not a bad idea for a frequency!

I’m interested in the Signal group

[–] goldenquetzal@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Send me a DM :) Easier that way

hi, I made the switch to lemmy today because I saw your post on reddit. I'm interested in joining the signal group if possible.

[–] goldenquetzal@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Welcome! Can you message me here and I'll send it to you? Sometimes privacy settings are a bit funky so it's easier if you initiate

Thank you! I was looking for some places for resources and to know I'm not crazy...not that crazy...okay, a place where I can at least be crazy with little to no judgement.

LOL glad you found this then

Neat!

...what was r/TwoXPreppers? A prepping community for women, or did the "TwoX" part mean something else?

[–] goldenquetzal@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I wasn't the founder of that reddit, but from what I understand, many women and/or LGBTQIA+ preppers did not feel comfortable in traditional prepping spaces. TwoXPreppers started as a place for that and expanded to welcoming men, as well.

Love the idea. I want to be prepared, but the prepper community is.. uh... I don't have the right word, but not for me.

And it is much appreciated!
