Telegram, including secret chats, is not blocked because Russian elites happen to use that, too.

I could put on my tinfoil hat and say if signal is blocked but telegram isn’t, maybe that means that telegram isn’t as secret as they make it out to be.

Telegram is shady as fuck and also afaik only uses end to end encryption in „secret“ one on one chats.

Signal over Proton VPN Stealth protocol. All free, specifically for these types of situations.

Signal needs a phone number though
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
It does not. They did away with that some time ago.

Not seeing paywall myself, clearing cookies and other site data might also help.

I hope Roskomnadzor doesn’t chase after the fediverse next.

How would you? You’d have to block every instance.

They could start by blocking the biggest instances, then slowly chasing after the smaller ones.
There’s not an infinite amount of instances, even if new ones are made, they’ll get all of them eventually. So this is basically a cat and mouse game.

I wonder what messaging service the Russian govt will use.

Youtube, signal blocked. What is Putin afraid of?
