I missed this, but do this every evening anyway lol
awesome!
Tomorrow is National Night Out: a once-a-year event where communities across the U.S. gather on their blocks to connect, celebrate, and look out for each other.
I just heard about one from Jack, the first person I ever onboarded to #BitChat. He’s starting his first year at UC Berkeley, and his neighborhood’s hosting a block party.
It got me thinking… what if this day became National BitChat Day, too?

It’s a day built exactly for neighbor-to-neighbor connection.
Front yards, grills, block parties. The ideal moment to talk local comms, off-grid tools, and digital sovereignty - casually, authentically, neighbor-to-neighbor.
If you’re attending a neighborhood gathering tomorrow, consider:
💬 Getting your neighbors on BitChat
📡 Helping folks understand that mesh + Bluetooth chat = resilience
🛠️ Offering a simple download (QR code or APK)
🕊️ Reframing it as “a tool for when you really need to reach each other and you'll wish you had when the grid goes down”
Or better yet - host a mini gathering yourself.
Doesn’t have to be fancy. A few neighbors and a conversation can go a long way.
This is where tech adoption actually happens:
Not through ads, but through real life, trust, and shared context.
BitChat is more than a chat app. It’s a trust tool. A backchannel. A bridge.
And this might be the perfect night to build those bridges.

Bonus tip: Not sure how to break the ice at the block party?
Show someone how to slap with a trout on BitChat.
If they don’t laugh, challenge them to a fish-slapping dance-off 👉🏻 https://youtu.be/T8XeDvKqI4E
