Is there an alternate DU that current members

[Ilsa]

will have access to if we have a Distributed Denial of Service or some other hack issue on election day? How will we be able to communicate?

Am I wrong for asking? I don't mean to imply anything other than trump is desperate to stay in power, and would do anything to make that happen.

1. There's a Facebook page if you can stomach Facebook.

2. Facebook was a bit of a sanity saver during that outrage/outage

Well, except for the troll attacks.

3. It would be tragic to repeat 2016.

Very good idea.

6. That's probably what I'll use if we go...

... through it again.

It was such a depressing night in 2016, I later thought it might've been a blessing. I might've been prone to snap at others that night. Not sure.

7. Yeah, it gave me time to cool off a bit.

10. Ok, twitter it is. I can't bring myself to

Re-open a facebook page. Friend suggestions, roughly, 1/10 the population of the US, start showing up. I can't delete them fast enough.

I didn't realize we had a twitter page.

11. Yep! I don't do Facebook either.

I haven't joined Twitter yet either though.

5. DU Panic Room?

Don't know if it has had any recent use but it appears to still exist.

8. Yahoo Groups technically no longer exist as a message board

"On February 1, 2020, Yahoo! removed online access to discussions and all other features except simple membership management, essentially turning all groups into mailing lists."

9. Thanks.

So much for that idea.

12. It was a great idea, though
