We have been made aware of the fact that Yesmap's (now disabled) Matrix server was entered under false pretenses by the hostile editor of a supposed "MAP" website some months ago. While some screenshots/logs have been shared (including those of members suffering from mental-health and legal problems), no personally identifying information has been leaked. We are currently compiling a dossier of malicious and criminal activity we believe the publishers of this website are responsible for, and will soon publish and promote it.
Help:Socials
Newgon (via the Yesmap.net server) now runs a Rocketchat server for trusted associates, tech support and researchers only.
The following platforms may all have one or more Newgon members or editors on them, and represent only part of the community.
Mastodon/Fediverse
We are also supporting a Mastodon instance which has now opened for applications.
Chat (unaffiliated)
Users of NewgonWiki may benefit from membership to any number of Matrix chat groups.
These are all completely independent of Newgon, but some maintain historical links with it, and are more or less aligned with its aims.
Newgon members are also known to be present in some of these groups:
- PCMA (about) - An activist organization now associated with the addresses #pcma:needsmo.re (official) and #pcma:nekos.cafe (unofficial).
- Open MAP Community is also running a Matrix server: #omc:crypted.cafe - this is a more conventional space and less likely to connect you with actual members of Newgon, or people who know the admins.
Forums (Maintained by Mu)
A forum is now live at Mu/MAP Union project (editor BLueRibbon and Jim are both involved as administrators):
