Curious indeed ( I have a full Chinese community) 🙏👀

Nostr apps are probably banned but they couldn’t ban the protocol even if they tried.

They absolutely can ban the protocol. The great firewall of China can do deep packet inspection to block activity they dont like.

Interesting.

Could others confirms this claim?

There are always ways around the firewall.

Its really good. These days it will even poke ip addresses and learn from its response. Its blocks new ip addresses quick.

You can read about shadowsocks and its history to get an idea of how it works.

Very good question.

#China is a very good test of censorship resistance.

#Nostr 在中国被审查了吗?

nostr:npub1l5r02s4udsr28xypsyx7j9lxchf80ha4z6y6269d0da9frtd2nxsvum9jm Probably knows both the answer and the ultimate solution if it is blocked.

Nostr bridge can offer assistance to them.

Going in May to find out

How can they block it?

Just block the Nostr relays, that's pretty easy when you have the level of control China has on its networks.

Is there a way to have anonymous relays or something to that effect??

I don’t see anyone from China here.

Not even Hong Kong.. yet

They probably just don’t know about it

I’ll bring them come in the future

Thanks

Will check🫡

你不看,肯定看不到。我天天都能看到。

Nostr prob isn't "blockable" but the apps on nostr are blocked by the apps stores yes.

Not completly blocked.

* All CCP controlled APP stores block nostr clients, people can download clients from official websites or Github (although Github is barely usable).

* some relays are blocked.

* some media servers are blocked

I wish more Chinese use Nostr network to express themself freely.

Requires VPN

只要你想访问都可以做到。哈哈哈。
