My fellow retards,
Well, phon/ongod never!
Not in a million years could anyone predict that a widely-popularized privacy tool would wind up suborned by globohomo! It isn’t like this game is deadly serious or anything…

If you stay in this space, you join a war. The enemy is a colossus. It is slow, it is heavy, and if it comes down on you it leaves a crater.
Seriously, phrens. Given its way, machine will turn you into 1000 bricks and then drop those bricks on everyone you love, everyone you mean to protect, elves and goats and children alike. It’s not they can’t, or that they don’t want to, it’s a matter of throughput. They can wreck everything, pretty much any time, but not all at the same time. Ever since they became able to wreck everything all at once, the evolution of warfare has been in how better to target the violence and justify its use to the public. A playbook is being perpetually refined. The contributions of nation-states and narco-terrorists alike have given the powers-that-be a whole fifth-generation warfare toolkit, from carbombs to color revolution to false-flag chemical attacks. Legitimately terrifying things to look in to, but your deacon has begun to digress…
To the grand schemers, 4chan was nothing but a bunch of niche weirdos, memes and raging incels in a weird little hole. Partly accurate, but hidden in that infested pit was a community of weaponized autists whose pursuit of purpose, information, and troll’-fashioned fun wove the odd little imageboard into the zeitgeist time and again, though not in a way that any cuck-media mouthpiece could accurate relate.
Resident elves familiar with the board claim that Covid marked the end-of-the-end for 4chan. The wave of attention broke as some of the first public references to lab-leaks and vax-injuries were made on the not-always-racist /pol/ (don’t click).
The chan’s anonymous nature creates no incentive to please the crowd, no incentive to harvest reputation votes by oozing platitudes—just an open field where the only measure of attention is how people respond.
Signal vs noise is always the crux of 4chan as a news source. During covid, the noise ratio on 4chan went way-way up and has stayed there ever since. Someone wise once described 4chan as an island of gems amidst a frothy ocean of shit…and sea levels have risen. The /pol/ forum turned relentlessly spammy, and the hurdle grew higher to find those individual conversations focused on honest truth.
On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everything goes to zero. Entropy wins eventually, allegedly.
The high integrity of the core group is of tremendous value to the project. As Phonons profile rises, that integrity will be challenged regularly. The challenges will be met with strength for as long as phon/ongod has a say. Not oppressive and accusatory strength to keep people in line, but internal, cultural strength. Trust bonds between phrens that people value enough to keep thems-elves in line.
With budget comes worry. With raised awareness comes potential anxiety. The higher the DAO climbs, the greater the pitfalls. It’s a long road, but none here walk it alone.
Phonon DAO walks the path.
Tips to phonongod.eth will be invested in bounties that advance the Phonon project.
Hatemail to phonongod@protonmail.com will be scathingly considered.
Targets for the marketcap of PHONON DAO remain:
$1b by Q2 2022, $12b by EOY.
On the high end, $300b marketcap in 3 years.
