Just wanna state that this has been going on since before US involvement. Two dictatirs fighting each other....

I think the US president threatening to wipe the entire country of Iran off the map is a bigger story.

when authoritarians fight, the people lose

ITT: people posting on the internet about something they found out about from the internet saying that an authoritarian regime shutting down the internet because the people under that regime were using it to coordinate resistance efforts is not so bad

sorry, i'd take y'all a lot more seriously if you were having that conversation over ham radio

For future reference, any time you want to coordinate some sort of resistance or even protest, the leadership should get on Meshtastic, MeshCore, or some other equivalent. Encrypted mesh communication over radios. The radios are fairly inexpensive starting at around $40.

absolutely. you need to own the infrastructure of the network

Reddit just banned me for a harmless comment..and I’m pissed… anyone wanna talk about this?

[–] mimavox@piefed.social 3 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

You're not alone. I got banned for wishing a missile strike on Putin..

[–] toad@lemmy.wtf 0 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

noooo you got banned for calling for war crime?

First time?

[–] Kissaki@feddit.org 2 points 5 hours ago

Is it a war crime to attack the military leader? I kind of doubt that. Military targets are fine under international law.

Reddit sucks. They have "bent the knee".

[–] yardratianSoma@lemmy.ca 14 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

You know, i think i might learn how to set up ad hoc networks to prepare for this sort of thing. I know its essentially wartime there now, but without internet, its harder to transmit the truth from the eyes of the civilians. Fucking sucks whats happening there. Repressive government, but filled with people who simply want a life free of the conflict, the endless battles, various ethnic groups simply wanting freedom from those who have invaded and partitioned their people.

This cant end well. . .

FYI, the old Linksys 54Gs can TRX packet radio over HAM frequencies.

couple it up with a LORA wan and you would have a pretty robust communication network.
