I am going to try and start a little "group" of sorts if enough are interested.
Take a look at this other open source project called retroshare:
It is a peer to peer communication platform featuring PGP like keyrings that encrypt traffic end to end and can optionally be fully anonymized through TOR or I2P.
I think it could be a great place to get out from under the opression that a community like us is facing. I plan to create a complete mirror of the forum on it incase this one dissapears. Did I mention it's also great for sharing files in a colaborative way?
Tor portable v 0.6.6 is reccomended. Use I2p for bonus anonymity.
The objective of this group will be to further develop the GGflex knowledgebase and collaborate on cad models in a safe way.

First off you should never run a file that you don't implicitly trust! Just like how a bad gcode can break your mill, a bad file can break or even ransom your computer.
That being said I hope you take a look at the project and decide for yourself if you can trust it.
I am vouching for the particular build: RetroShare-0.6.6-Windows-Portable-20210313-0-g751fffc30-Qt-5.15.2-x64-tor.7z
with SHA-256 checksum: 3496A0CC0511EEC15DDB9B33710586FF8C378A1EABA3C9438E0A75C3F0F64546
• How do I....
> Use it anonymously?
First of all be sure to download the TOR portable version.
> Join the group?
RS is unlike most other social apps in that you must mutually share your Keys with every other person in the group and vice versa.
So you can start by adding my key and then post yours so I can add you.
> use it?
Once you have added some people (mutually) they will show up in the network tab and you can chat.
• Why can't I open/extract it?
>The installation files are compressed with another open source program 7zip. Winrar also works.
• Help it wont run!
> Win10 users using the portable versions typically cannot run the app normally. Try right clicking both tor.exe and retroshare.exe and "run as administrator"
• It wont connect!
> Win10 users may experience firewall issues. Try granting both tor and retroshare firewall/antivirus exceptions and/or higher privilleges. If the issue persists look into your NAT type.
• Still won't work
> DM me with detail of your problem and I will attempt to help.
QOL protips:
Prefences-->Appearance
Will allow you to change the look.
Try changing the style sheet. Darkmode is nice.
Preferences-->Chats
Will allow you to change how text looks.
