My dear Juan,

Boyce was stupid and very injust, but he is not a bad person. I was talking about this kind of thing, testardo... :)

Kisses and kicks! Take care! :*

Ceci It looks like sandstorm.io only accepts credit card payments. Bad :(

Buy a throwaway Mastercard at a drug store Albeit they'll know whereabouts you bought it.

Dear Griffin,

Thank you very much! I will pass this information along.

Best regards, Lina

Hi Lina,

While the content isn't encrypted for most of their apps, I would recommend Sandstorm as a good hosted option for forums and other collaborative apps. It's free for up to 5 apps (called "grains") and up to 200MB storage. For more, it's $9 a month: https://sandstorm.io/

For encrypted communication, Ricochet.im is pretty great and doesn't require a lot of work to set up. It has sane defaults (requires Tor to run).

best, Griffin

Hello all,

A new support group for survivors of campus sexual assault is looking for a secure online communications platform. The group is not one of my clients, nor am I a member of or advisor to the group -- I am passing this request along as a favor -- so I have relatively little information about membership numbers, etc. I do believe everyone who is in the group is located in the U.S. or Canada. And they are looking for high security levels, giving survivors the ability to seek support from other members and to collectively organize for changes to policy and legislation on rape and assault. They are hoping to have password-protected login, private messaging, group forums, file share, all encrypted.

Do any of you have advice for an existing platform that would provide this that is relatively affordable?
