Greetings, I'm in iran right now and after 76 days I hardly connected to the internet with a psiphon fork, its very slow and the internet in iran is not coming back, so if I disconnect again I will miss everyone from the internet very much, we have a domestic intranet right now with a few whitelisted websites like Google and GitHub, Please don't let the internet blackout be buried under the war news. Goodbye for now.
also fun fact is in the domestic intranet we Iranians are using the matrix protocol to communicate and share important content with each other, sorry to say it but matrix is pretty shit but it has been pretty useful for these times of emergency.
The internet blackout has been at the front of my mind since it started. It's impossible to forget that we've lost an entire nation of people from our collective online culture. Gonna miss you, too. Stay safe.
We will miss you while you're disconnected. Stay safe out there, comrade.
