Show HN: Virtual Protest Protocol – Scaling activism via 50-person cells

https://github.com/voice-of-japan/Virtual-Protest-Protocol/blob/main/README.md
2•sakanakana00•2h ago
I am a 75-year-old producer. In 2004, I helped bring "Crimson Room" to the global web. After spending 11 years in Fukushima—including 6 years working inside the nuclear power plant—I witnessed firsthand how large organizations can discard individuals. VPP (Virtual Protest Protocol) is my response to the debt-ridden, unequal society we are leaving to the next generation. It is a minimal, sprite-based protocol (MIT License) designed to create high-density, low-bandwidth civic spaces for digital dissent. Key Technical Challenges & Specs: Cell-based Scalability: To support 50,000+ concurrent avatars on low-spec hardware, I’m proposing a "50-person cell" architecture. I’d love a peer review on this clustering approach. Tri-state Logic: Yes / No / Observe. We need to visualize the "silent majority" without fueling the polarization of social media. Privacy by Design: Zero personal data collection. No tracking. I’ve received positive feedback from the Open Technology Fund (OTF) and an official invitation from Mozilla’s Democracy x AI cohort. I am looking for: Technical feedback on the cell-clustering architecture. Contributors for avatar assets (looking for diverse, symbolic sprites to represent individual voices).
