how can we make nostr a safe and reliable place for iranians?
Discussion
Roll-your-own algorithms. I would expect a market in curated algos to emerge.
how does that help iranians who have the regime stalking their every move online?
Oh, sorry. I was missing context, it would appear.
Clearnet is obviously not cut out very well for this. More robust encryption, proxying, and privacy solutions are needed, I agree
is there anything we can do from outside of the country to make it safer? for people who aren’t technical and just want a place to release and have freedom?
Just putting out more content in their language and maybe translating usage guides, I guess? Sharing news about new developments. That sort of thing.
we have had the gracious nostr:npub1cpazafytvafazxkjn43zjfwtfzatfz508r54f6z6a3rf2ws8223qc3xxpk translate numerous of things for nostr! https://nostr.how/fa/what-is-nostr
No one have really gave feedback yet. So we don't really know how the translation quality is. It may not be good. Waiting for the other shoe to drop.

جایی تو بحثا دیدم میگن برای توی تلگرام لینک دادن بهتره لینک عمومی شناسه ناستر را بدید. یعنی بجای اینورت فلان یا آیریس فلان لینکتون فقط از اَت ایونت شروع بشه که هر کس ببره توی کلاینت خودش بزاره. مثل این:
By the way there is already a topic in simorgh( the Persian Bitcoin Community) fir it

Use TOR first
nostr:npub1cpazafytvafazxkjn43zjfwtfzatfz508r54f6z6a3rf2ws8223qc3xxpk how accessible is tor in iran
Should be very accessible. Someone could always use someone else’s wifi first, bridges can be used to access also. torproject.org has lots of information.
I cannot use it. But it might be my problem. As I 'm so iliterate in tech things.
I have had Orbot in my phone and updated it with great difficulty. But every time I open and start it it crashes. Or it shows zero traffic.
I would not suggest using from a phone. Tails is a TOR browser for a computer. That is what I would use.
If your very concerned prior to this you could look into TOR bridges, or hijack and ride on someone else’s wifi, then connect using Tails on TOR.
The most security minded people in the world use TOR.
I would not mix a VPN with TOR.
Yeah honestly the real answer is tor, but if you deadset on using clearnet and nostr, use IPs instead of domain names.
So instead of wss://relayable.org it would be wss://172.96.167.212
This is because governments block DNS as a way to "turn off the internet"
But again, the real answer is Tor.
Provide people with mirrors to download TOR and run snowflake bridge all the time. It's the least every #nostrich should do
The real question:
How can we make Iran (and the rest of the world) a safe place for everyone?
Spread love and fun 💜🧡💜🧡
