I have an honest question: what good is a secure, privacy preserving messenger if it's so easy for a country to block it? Being surveillance resistant isn't helpful when it's not censorship resistant

e.g., blocked in Russia:

- Signal
- Matrix
- Threema
- Session (tor)
- Briar (tor)
- Cwtch (tor)
- SimpleX (tor alternate to their SMP servers)
Powersource

@feld I was under the impression Tor had half decent censorship resistance but sounds like that's incorrect?

@powersource so there are some censorship resistance options where you use a custom traffic obfuscation protocol to talk to an (unlisted) Tor bridge to get into the network.

The problem here is that it's not scalable and very few people are going to be able to figure it out.
