Encrypted messaging app Signal has stopped working in China and is now only accessible by users of a virtual private network (VPN).

        I hope it stays that way then. If/when Matrix is more popular, I hope it remains usable.

        If China were to block it would you still be able to access it through your own instance?

          I assume that they block by domain, so if you start your own instance with a different domain, it should work fine.

            Unless they start automatically scanning for Lemmy instances and adding to the block list.
