I have used rise up for nearly a decade. VPN as well as email, and it is legit. I donate more, sporadically, than it would cost me to subscribe to equivalent alternatives, but that’s a choice. When I was poor and couldn’t afford to contribute, there was no question.

When a server was confiscated and subsequently returned, they wrote the server off rather than risk reconnecting it and potentially installing spyware.

There are limits: exit nodes are limited to (from memory), four or five.

For me, it’s a 4.5 out of five, and would only improve with more exit node functionality

Good point

There are hotlines to report offenders. Flood the lines with reports of musk and any other project 2025 billionaires you wish. Make the hotline useless

I feel like I have seen that cat somewhere before, but I don’t recognise them with their mask on

Rise up has changed their invite policy to one every 24 hours. I am sending out invites in order of request, but have had (to date) 21 DM’s. I have to draw a line and will send one per day until I am cut off.

Thanks

Yes. Still be a few hours, but will contact people shortly. Probably as soon as I am sober!🥃🍹🍾

No problem. I will be home later today and will DM you for an email contact.

I have about 5 invites if anyone is interested

I did! Which ages me. They remain one of the top three bands I have seen in person
