These app stores are central points of censorship. I actually assumed Signal was already unavailable on iOS in China. So much of the privacy space is dominated by US and European people or maybe that's just because I only speak English. I wonder how many people in China even concern themselves with privacy. I have no idea.

I'm fond of XMPP/Jabber myself.

If you really want a private chat:

  1. start a private nostr relay
  2. use 0xchat over nostr https://github.com/0xchat-app/0xchat-app-main

I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE ARE SO FUCKING DUMB USING PLAY STORES

Laziness and/or ignorance of what is possible.

Well they can’t stop all the Nostr relays!

reply

Unless they stop all HTTPS traffic.

Or block downloads of clients.

I thought they would have been unavailable for a while now. They banned google and YouTube about 15 years ago

My guess is that these aren't that widely used in China but I could be wrong.

That's a great news for Nostr.

reply

Its inevitable. The state hates personal sovereignty, privacy, and encryption. This will only need to more censorship resistant tools like Nostr.
