Useful Apps / Extensions for both Punter and SPs.

[FiveKnuckles]

Fellas,  let's make a list of useful apps and extensions. 

Some I'm using:
1) Kuck's AW chrome extension.  Can't do without.

2) Disposable email app..
From playstore 'instaddr' by kukusama.  Think it's also available on iPhone store.  On PC/Mac try External Link/Members Only

- Literally you create long-term, timed disposable email address.  Has some useful domains. 
- feature includes an account number and password so you can carry all the same email address to all your devices.
- free to use and great for signing up to those ED discount codes. 

Share what you're using.

Most boys use Hush or business WhatsApp

I also use
Kik
Telegram
Signal
WeChat
Wire
Discord
Reddit
Session
Protonmail and VPN
Skiff
Duck Duck go browser

These can be logged out deleted then reinstalled with password making it discrete and secure

Using better safety tools protects me and my customers information

[FiveKnuckles]

Discord
Reddit

you have clients using reddit and discord to arrange meets?   

[Mkhelen]

How is that a surprise??

We SP get tonnes on Instagram too

[scutty brown]

Helen
is there a way of actually advertising yourself on those sites, or do you just use them for messaging?
How do customers actually locate you on there?

Sorry if the question seems naive, but I've done my best to avoid messaging apps so far

[FiveKnuckles]

I must be subscribed to the wrong red-it communities.  Thought it was just a load of banter, ask lawyers/mechanics for advice or nudes.  didn't know you could hookup with escorts on there.

dis-cord I know there's gamers and lots dodgy servers.  Wouldn't had guess some enterprising sergei/escort would create a server to arrange meets.  Unless it's just private messaging 

Learn something every day. will kick my nephews off dis-cord.  dirty little b-stards

Discord is also where that US service man leaked secret information about the NATO help to Ukraine including the creation of new brigades and the equipment and number of soldiers in each.

I'm not a sergi just an independent lady who has to adapt with the times

Same as Bitcoin and crypto currency

I use telegram and Discord channel to promote and adverts

Reddit is great for different techniques different accommodation options air bnb lists quite fascinating

If the online safety bill goes ahead
All UK advertising gets stripped away including Vivastreet

Which is why I'm trying to cover all bases of communication with customers

Changing my website to .com not. co.uk

Looking at contact magazines aswell

Smart strategy.

Though with the incredible complexity in this legislation, I suspect it may be kicked down the road again.

[Mkhelen]

I'm currently advertising on 196 advertising boards platforms and accounts
I expect a third to go due to legislation

I don't know how a 83 year old would learn how to use a VPN but does know the old contact magazine in the sex shop

196 boards? Blimey!!!

How do you manage that lot and how do you track which boards are bringing you bookings you want?

[Mkhelen]

Currently going through the overhaul at the moment

Correcting data ie rates £140 to £160 services dos and donts bust size 34c to 36f

Back linking to the website

Working out which ones will survive

Her regs prolly have her number, or there’s still the local paper in some areas.
I can’t see the legislation being enacted, let alone enforced.

[Mkhelen]

No local papers allow advertising for sex worker absolutely none left stopped in 2012 I think

Back to the original question from OP

Hmmm, perhaps some enterprising SPs or SSs (I can't think who here might be capable of that) could set up some Mastadon servers

You seem to be well ahead with the planning and tech.

Grabbing an 'unstoppable domains' and hosting a simple website on the IPFS would avoid any server take down, since it's on the Blockchain.
It's still very raw technology (no java scripts, etc) and requires a browser with built in access to IPFS (like brave browser) to reach the website.   *Believe there are IPFS extensions for the mainstream browsers.

Punters will need to be a little tech savvy to access IPFS hostsed sites, so not foolproof.  Also SEO tools unlikely to rank Blockchain hosted site.

Still learning give me time lol
 Complete tech newbie

Found the "what 3 words" app to be very useful for men who get lost
Parkopedia is awesome in London

if you do look into unstoppable domains, don't go overspending on the first domain for learning.  they're overpriced!   grab something with alphanumerics for $10 max to do the learning (beta site).  if it doesn't work out, no big loss.   As i mentioned it's very raw technology and may not go mainstream in the future.

Thank you for advice
