This Saturday in Budapest #Hungary will be the first mass protest against the Government after last weekend's elections.
The protest organisers are encouraging people to use #FireChat to communicate and coordinate during the protest.
Does anyone have experience with FireChat?

#FollowUp on this ^^^ thread for a couple days ago.
It was a MASSIVE protest, see fb video below and the mobile phone system crashed – perhaps because 100,000+ people were in the same area and sending selfies or perhaps because of state interference – the truth will never be known, of course.
I asked a march steward how they communicate with each other and he said they have their own network – I asked if that was SnapChat he said they have something else but neither worked consistently and he didn't have snapchat because his phone wasn't capable. I didn't get to have a deep conversation with him, so I do not know what all that means.
Interesting though!
