several people reporting lately that #deltachat has become their main app: They are now spending more time in the chats, also with web apps, than in any other app. It may be a turn to more private communications when social media has become more toxic, obnoxious and dangerous in many places?

#deltachat and #chatmail.is indeed about being readily available when other forms of communications become unavailable or dangerous like in Iran or Russia but also in western and other countries.

@delta how does it fare in places like China an Russia?
Can people connect?
Could it be dangerous if so, by how much?

@TagHunt currently, #deltachat works everywhere, including china where it's a kind of secret tip on remaining securely connected when cross borders.

@delta @TagHunt I tested some relay domains and most of them are not blocked in China (yet).

I think one potential advantage in the future may be that emails are harder to completely block, not technically but because how widely they are used.

@xmppbrasil @wch423 @TagHunt the chinese firewall presents a special challenge that doesn't exist as such in the West. It blocks signal, whatsapp and many other apps. While it may not be important to you, it is something of concern for people interacting with, or travelling, with mainland china.
