Briar is our next best option. We have shared with our communities a proper guide on how to set up and use Briar. The only issue with Briar is that mesh communication can happen only through Forums and its functionality appears to be a bit un-intuitive for people not that comfortable with such technology.

We are not using anything on ground that has not been audited, especially for mass use. Thanks for your concern though!

Luckily things are not that bad (yet)! SMS texts were working during the last protest (NOT the July ones which eventually led to the resignation of the Education minister) and Supreme court has directed that internet facilities shall remain unhindered amid the ongoing protests. So this does not have to be done within even a week or so. If you are willing to help though, it would be great to get in touch on Signal. Can I DM you?

Couldn’t find any one that works well. Even Berty is not good, the link it creates has a bug, the “Open in the app” button is glitched out. There is no easy way to add someone by just their ID. And even then some of the other features we need dont seem to be there. But please I am open to other suggestions and I will do another deep research again, but what we are looking for is something built specifically for a scenario involving mass mobilisation and there is an option that allows you to consent to relay anyones message, which does not exist.

Indeed! Looking for experts to help with this. We will NOT go forward with publicising and having anyone use this until its audited and worked on properly. Cheers!

Berty looks promising if it works over the internet as well! Will test it out but please do share other suggestions too!

ah lmao

Being banned is not the issue, we can distribute the APKs one way or another. Its that they dont have the features we need and are not user friendly enough.

why is lemmy censoring bit chat’s name? that’s weird …

Will keep in mind!

What is this, can you provide a link? Will check it out.

Briar is a great option and that is the other option we are pushing people to install! removedat’s latest version has a critical bug and the only way to add people is via QR code scan. We are looking to looking to build on top of Briar, since it does not have some important features we are looking for out of the box.
