A US man is being prosecuted after allegedly using a GrapheneOS duress PIN to wipe his Pixel during a border search. https://www.androidauthority.com/grapheneos-duress-pin-us-prosecution-3691271/

Actually the better duress pin is fully deniable encryption: you set certain policies on data, you insert a pin and only the data tied to that pin are visible. Those who see can't tell if there is something else hidden. This way you're compliant and yet still private.

Radicle is the most reasonable choice, actually all FLOSS projects should be on Radicle (or any equivalently P2P system). Unfortunately most Devs fails to understand themselves the value of private property for digital things. They understand for a car or a home, but not for digital stuff.

Honestly, bitchat's functionality aside, I see it more as a tool for voluntary CIA lackeys during colour revolutions rather than a tool for free communication.

I'd see LoRa as such due to its geographical range, even if its performance is limited, but I really don't see any realistic use for bitchat outside of what might interest the CIA for carrying out coups in other people's countries...

Bitchat is kinda useless around my house but I've went into a major US city during "protests" to take in the sites of chaos and it was being used to coordinate amongst those waving signs and screaming.

Interoperability witg LoRa is not far off I imagine.
