@delta also #deltaChat natively supports #Proxies, #VPN|s and @torproject / #Tor so not only can people use it that way but also use any other bypass method.

• Obviously, the classic #Sneakernet with people doing uucp with foreign mobile networks near borders works just as well...

I'd not be surprised if delta Chat is also used by #RimjinGang* and #38North** for a "contactless sneakernet" tho I am convinced they won't confirm or deny that for #OpSec, #InfoSec & #ComSec reasons alone...

• I mean, both #Iran and #NorthKorea ain't #Iraq and #Syria where one could just take a phat satellite dish, strap an LTE stick or even external antennas on and just point it at turkish or lebanese radio towers near the border, as owning any satellite equipment in these places is a guarantee to get publicly executed for "espionage"...

@kkarhan @delta @torproject There is also #SecureScuttleButt, but even though it's technically extremely interesting, they cannot seem to stop shooting in their own foot by being very confusing to onboard, having permanently outdated documentation, and almost impossible to find a community, unless you are ready to form your own.

It would be very cool to use for async interplanetary communication. Vernor Vinge's "Zones of Thought" book series describe a similar network on an intergalactic scale.
