== Discussion ==

AlwaysLivid has some updates on Tor Browser distribution work

gtsatsis has started developing a Signal bot for distributing binaries of the Tor Browser

https://gitlab.com/gtsatsis/signal-gettor

(Idea from a friend of AlwaysLivid, which they have also thought of beforehand: Distributing binaries of gettor via decentralized VPN-based networks, such as Lokinet, Zeronet, or dn42.)

downloads.json shenanigans? (Some tickets have already been opened, - AlwaysLivid)

https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/issues/40...

https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/issues/40...

https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/40380

Using the Matrix platform and bridges as a unified, perhaps temporary means of distributing links with minimal maintenance? Bonus: No Twitter bot rewrites, and writing different bots for platforms where uploading binaries isn't possible.

== Actions ==
