On the occasion of Russia today testing regional blocks of telegram and other apps (especially in eastern Russia) and #WhatsApp down or flaky in many countries the last hours ... Allow us to note that it is very hard to block or bring down #deltachat apps on any larger scale because

A) it's hard to block the planetary email server network

B) #chatmail servers have some extras :)

C) DNS blocks won't work

D) you can use shadowsocks/socks5 proxies easily on android/iOS

Sorry not sorry :)

@delta why wouldn't it work to DNS block the chatmail servers?

@aburka sorry, we prefer to not go into details here and increase the cost for anyone trying to do it :) but if you can control your local DNS feel free to try.
