🧙‍♀️ Heya Walpurgis, #ContraChrome is up again! ✨

👉 https://contrachrome.com

Risen like a phoenix, victim of its own success. 🥳

(Thank you for your patience!)

You can always read and download #ContraChrome on the Internet Archive:

https://archive.org/details/contra-chrome-en

Huge thanks to historian, filmmaker and archivist Jason Scott who took the trouble of putting it there in the first place!

(He's @textfiles on )

What a fitting end to a tumultuos month:

Four weeks ago today, I published #ContraChrome – and now, pretty much at the exact hour, you maniacs have crashed my lush bandwidth 😅 🖥️💥

I will soon post mirror URLs for the English version (the German one is back online Sunday, May 1st.)

Sorry for the inconvience, and shout out to @lealternative for pointing this out!

Banging the drum for the #Fediverse in this #ContraChrome interview for The New Stack by the @ricmac

Some tech questions noticeably over my head, guess I should have consulted with you folks first 😅

🇩🇪 Und das Allerbeste:

🇮🇹 Italienische, 🇫🇷 französische und 🇪🇸 spanische Versionen sind auf dem Weg!

Manche von euch haben beschlossen, die Dinge in die Hand zu nehmen und #ContraChrome ihren Freunden und Verwandten zugänglich zu machen, die vielleicht nicht so tolles Englisch draufhaben.

Wer möchte, kann auf dem Etherpad der 🇫🇷-Übersetzer von @Framasoft auch gerne mithelfen: https://mypads.framapad.org/mypads/?/mypads/group/framalang-7l3ibkl0/pad/view/contra-chrome-ch1-5ejmi7uf

Tausend Dank an alle, die gerade ihr kostbare Zeit dieser Arbeit widmen!

#Datenschutz #Chrome

🇬🇧 And the best part is:

🇮🇹 Italian, 🇫🇷 French and 🇪🇸 Spanish versions are in the works! ✨

Some of you decided to take matters into their own hands and bring #ContraChrome to their monolingual friends and loved ones.

Italian is apparently almost done, but if you‘d like to contribute to the French translation efforts of the @Framasoft folks, you‘re welcome to join their Etherpad: https://mypads.framapad.org/mypads/?/mypads/group/framalang-7l3ibkl0/pad/view/contra-chrome-ch1-5ejmi7uf

Thanks a million to everyone currently giving their time working on this!

🌊 Bis hin zu Websites für digitale Selbstverteidigung wie @don_atoms und @cryptoparty, die es in ihre Linksammlungen aufnehmen wollen.

Ich bin sprachlos und wahnsinnig happy, dass der Comic so viele Menschen erreicht.

Von Herzen Dank an euch alle für‘s Lesen, Boosten, und Weitersagen! 💙

🇩🇪 Was für eine Woche – vielen Dank, liebes Fediverse, für einen Wahnsinns-Comiclaunch!

Hunderte von Boosts haben #ContraChrome über diverse Länder und Plattformen gespült:

🌊 Von einer katholischen Schule an der Südküste Englands, wo ein Lehrer mit seinen 14-jährigen Schüler:innen darüber diskutiert

🌊 Über die Untiefen von Reddit, wo ein rechter Eiferer erklärte, er würde es auf der Stelle verbrennen, wenn es nur aus Papier wäre

1/2

I‘m happy beyond words that this little funnybook has reached so many people.

Heartfelt thanks to each and everyone for reading, boosting, and spreading the word! 💙

🇬🇧 What a week – thank you, dear #Fediverse, for a hell of a comic launch!

Hundreds of boosts have swept #ContraChrome across countries and platforms:

🌊 From a Catholic school in the UK, where a teacher now discusses it with his 14- y.o. pupils

🌊 Through the lower strata of Reddit, where a right-wing zealot proclaimed he would instantly burn it were it only on paper

🌊 Up to websites for digital self-defense as @don_atoms gofoss.net and @cryptoparty where it will be added as a resource

🇬🇧️🐞️ There seems to be a bug when clicking/tapping on a page in order to move on to the next.

I'll investigate the cause, in the meantime use the navigation arrows from page 1 on, or download the pdf.

Thank you @luka and @davidrevoy for reporting!
