Last week, we observed a sudden spike in bitchat downloads from Indonesia during nationwide protests. Today we're seeing an even bigger spike from Nepal during youth protests over government corruption and a social media ban. Freedom tech is for the people. Please share. These people are using Nostr now. Links Official website: iOS: Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bitchat.droid

We've seen cases of dropping deep inspec packets on the broadband directly through the providers, with the help of the Chinese in the Burmese coup. A first-hand experience that we can dissect in terms of where in the hardware/software the leaks could be. How about you give specifics and be helpful? It's a new app, it's gonna have new bugs across IPs, tracking apps, illegal surveillance and more, pinging servers across the 🌎, etc. Everything is an opportunity to better #FreedomTech tools for the #revolution
Heh. And now we’re all on the FBI’s radar. Good work building β€œfreedom tech”! Now, TBH, I’m all for the uncontrollable software like @bitchat, but I also know I’m not entirely β€œfree” in Statist terms. I am totally freed in spiritual terms tho, so I applaud getting Nostr on the Statist’s radar… they’ll have to grapple with the fact they’re not all-powerful, once again, which is a very good thing.
#bitchat solves a real life problem - network congestion when you put a million phones side by side... .. it is nothing to do with fear of monitoring or gov intrusion thingie ...cuz no one gives an f ... But the problem is cell towers just don't work .. so .. but the aftereffects are profound .. once you taste the nectar of freedom you come to realize trillions of dollars spent on 5g ( and starlink :-) are such a waste of time and money ..
