My fault I didn't explain it. They don't cut the internet inside the country (look at it as somekind of a intranet network inside a country wide network) which they control it. they cut the access to outside world so access to any service not hosted locally inside the country is instantly lost

And they can find everyone when they seize the server? Are the IPs logged too?

Don't want to go into specifics but I found a way to anonymously rent a VPS server here. This is also very illegal. The logs like you said are a big concern I need to figure that out for sure thanks good place to start

Good point this would be a great upgrade I will look into it.

Yes you're right if my community gets big enough for them to notice. They gonna come after me too. I accepted the risk

Thanks, we need a platform somekind of a forum where we can have different communities/topics but all the content be visible in one home feed for the members of communities and crucially good moderation capabilities for the admins assigned to communities. The content is going to be both text-based and media like videos pictures etc. Currently we are on a telegram super group but that doesn't cut it and can be lost. Is piefed or Lemmy a good fit for this? I have been here since 2023 and I think it would be. One other issue is privacy the identity of the members should be protected at all costs.

There is no way to bypass this. They don't just filter/censor the Internet. They shut the whole outside of the country access down period. Not even the data centers are exempt. Starlink setup is the only way to bypass this system and it is very illegal and hard to find here

What about when they cut off the internet access to outside the country. That's the whole point

Spam prevention

So you're from the first reddit exodus (third party apps ban) in 2023 like me.

Most smart TV OS are Cancer doesn't matter how much you paid for it

Damn UK is getting really Orvelian fast. Not really surprising They always had authoritarian politicians

The fuck..

The fuck..

It is in a whitelist only mode right now only afew select websites are accessible here

I'm connected through a VPN bought through blackmarket. Yes there is a blackmarket for vpns for a very steep price so every MB counts

Miserable right? That's how I describe it

How those VPNs work? They have connections in a select few government run datacenters that are still somewhat connected and get whitelisted ips servers and traffic that they sell for a unimaginable profit

Edit: people call them outbound sellers here. powerful rich people connected to the regime

I hope you find this mythical place you speak of

No much, providences do not have any kind of power here. they follow the orders and laws from capital on all matters

Daily life is mostly miserable here right now. Can you imagine triple digit inflation?

It's a reality here for years now for us

most government systems and programs are collapsing

People are just hoping that one day this brutal dictatorship gonna collapse and everything will finally end

They murder whoever speaks up against them in a whim

We don't have guns how can we fight these people on our own? That's why we look to outside powers to help...

We have no choice

Hive mind mentality sums up Reddit culture pretty accurately. so happy to be here

First port-forward and now this I mean I get it but being versatile is more important in a VPN for me so no more Mullvad for me. I'll be moving to either windscribe or AirVPN

There are a few I can understand some of them We have:

azari (آذری) or turki (ترکی)

shomali (شمالی)

Kordi(کردی)

Lori(لری)

Threre are also Afghan people they speak a dialect call pashtoo (پشتو)

Some people speak Arabic here too mostly in Southern parts of the country

There are others too these are the most prevalent ones

Ofcourse the official one is called Farsi (فارسی)

Most people here speak understand this one
