Our project is one of constant exit planning and circumvention considerations ... as times and tech are getting more shitty. We don't bet on a single basket, and not a single state or jurisdiction, and certainly not AWS/Google/Microsoft US clouds which run #Signal servers. No single hoster, platform or language (we do a lot of Rust, granted) and no single device or vendor. At #chatmail protocol levels we regard nothing as holy, and look for simplicity and robustness, and convivial community 🖤

We are aware of roskomnadzor just having ramped up their blocking efforts in #russia against #deltachat 's default onboarding chatmail relay. Signal, Whatsapp are degraded/blocked for a longer time already. 1) Delta Chat has first class shadow-socks proxy support (try ss:// links you can find ... Delta has management-proxy UX) 2) many other chatmail relays work fine and inter-chatmail/email server traffic continues unimpeded 3) if you can help with analyzing please drop into our DMs.
