What is a “Walk”?
A decentralized strategy for networking with local anons anonymously IRL.
Why Walk?
Walking allows normally isolated anons to meet with little risk, make friends, and to organize locally.
How does it work?
Step 1: On the specified date, wear a plain white shirt and any style of hat. Wearing these clothes on this specific day serves to identify you at a glance to other participating anons while also providing absolute plausible deniability if needed.
Step 2: Go to the local place that best corresponds to the OP’s suggestion. Locations might include:
Most popular park
The sidewalk outside Town Hall
Downtown’s fanciest tavern
This improves the odds of anons meeting without naming any specific location, making a honeypot or ambush virtually impossible.
Step 3: If you see another person wearing a white shirt and hat, say hello and drop some hints about /pol/ culture. If they don’t understand, assume they’re not an anon. If they do, congratulations! You probably just met a friendly anon.
That’s it! Feel free to exchange contact information, meet up for coffee later, go find more anons, whatever. It’s up to you how to interact with your newfound compatriots.

Walk General for April 2019
April has the weather improving a bit, so lets take a stroll down to a park closest to your local City Hall to enjoy it a bit.
Location: The nicest outdoor park or location nearest your City Hall.
Saturdays: April 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th
Dub Days: Thurday April 11th, Monday April 22nd
Times: 1:11pm – 4:44pm
Hints:
Some City Halls have plazas or open areas with seating and park-like qualities as part of their property, so that might count as the closest “park”.
If your region is a little cold, just keep your jacket open to show off your white shirt. Or just wear a white coat.
Try to pick a location where you can see well around you and others might be able to see you rather than hiding in the bushes somewhere.
Bring something to entertain yourself with and walk around a bit while you enjoy the springtime weather.

With all the overly paranoid who the fuck do you think you are that you're so important that the FBI would come after you for walking around with a white shirt? Are you fucking Gavrilo Princip or something anons or alternatively, shills, that seem to be invading your thread en-masse, I'd like to commend you for this good idea.
You took care of opsec from the very beginning so that anons wouldn't need to be afraid; of course, the autistic among us will always find something to sperg out about.
Have you had any confirmations of a successful meet-up? If so, you've already done a lot more than more anons have here.

I have personally had a successful meetup.

As much as is possible on an image board while maintaining good opsec. I've seen a number of reports of anons having met each other in Walk threads, which if true is promising. I know that I've run into anons around my area, and I can say that the most reliable way is to speak up about pertinent issues without going full power level on it. The last Saturday that I went out had some excellent conversations. I imagine that there are meetups that occur from lurkers who, despite being pleased about the results, don't say anything about it because they are lurkers. So I am optimistic.

Those who are legitimately cautious about IRL meetings are concerned about honeypots predominantly and to a lesser extent just believe it may be a waste of time or an embarrassing activity from what I can gather so far. With every legitimate concern the effort can be improved in terms of security and efficacy, so I appreciate that real feedback. The shilling and astroturfing is useful only in showing how agitating this idea is to those who don't like the idea of anons quietly organizing beyond their reach.

That's an excellent idea, and one that I was thinking would be the sort of project anons could take on after making their local connections. It really does deserve its own thread since it's certain a few steps beyond the scope of this one.
>>13080403
I wonder why.

Good luck in sunny Florida!

Keep the community clean up on the back burner, don't start a thread just yet, think through it and make it simple and safe.
