Thanks some great advice here I should add that hostings here are obligated to log anything they can by default. So that’s that I’m not gonna do or allow others to do anything too obviously illegal on my instance also it’s mostly for my friends and we gonna keep it somewhat private and closed. That stuff gonna take place somewhere else when the time comes

You’re right hosting outside is safer for sure but that misses the whole point of keeping people in touch when they cut off the global part of the world wide web making it a local to the country intranet network. I’m gonna start this on my own there are a lot of documentation for me to read through and figure out when I’m ready I’m gonna ask if anyone is willing to help I would be happy to accept

Thanks I’m not nearly technical enough to even pretend I can figure this one out but others are, gonna forward this to them see what they think

I should have explained this part better that’s totally on me. They don’t cut the whole thing down (atleast not yet) they cut the global part of the world wide web. Making it a local to the country intranet network that they control

Thanks some great advice here you’re right it would be much better and more resilient. Gonna talk about this with others see what they can come-up with

Thank you you are genuinely concerned that warms my heart. Yes hostings here are obligated to log everything they can by default. As I said in other comment threads I’m not gonna do or allow others to do anything obviously too illegal on my instance it’s mostly for my friends and gonna keep it somewhat private and closed. That stuff gonna take place somewhere else when the time comes

You’re Absolutely Right. As I answered in other comment threads. I won’t do and allow anybody else to do anything obviously illegal on my instance that’s when the time comes gonna take place somewhere else and not gonna be obvious. Promise I’m well aware of the consequences and not suicidal or anything

I’m gonna assume they log anything they can and base everything on that

The server hosting is going to log this for sure. Also there is no such thing as anonymous VPS providers here they all are obligated to check your identification before giving you anything. I’m not gonna do and allow any other members to do anything too obviously illegal on the instance itself that’s just asking for it

Yes I thought about briar and other similar p2p networks not ideal but safer for sure. I should have said it in the beginning I’m not gonna do anything obviously illegal on that server those things when needed gonna take place somewhere else planning for that too

Good point in-fact I know that many data centers here are silently instructed to do this by default. Don’t know how to bypass this yet

Ofcourse I’m going to carefully read and answer and appreciate every comment including yours so First thanks for your genuine concern. I’m well aware what they would do to me if I get noticed. We thought about this that’s why I’m gonna buy and setup and run anything needed on my own. Also I know my post sounds like we are some kind of freedom fighters group promise we are not plotting anything special there so no need to be worried about that also past experience shows that they don’t give a F about this stuff as long as it’s not big enough and kept somewhat private and closed and if they do they only target the ones running the platform which is going to be me alone no way I’m gonna put others in danger

Well said I was thinking about matrix too seems to be a lot safer. But it’s not the platform I was looking for. I really need something like Lemmy where people can make communities share their interests not just group chats

Don’t want to go into specifics but I found a way to anonymously rent a VPS server here. This is also very illegal. The logs like you said are a big concern I need to figure that out for sure thanks good place to start

And they can find everyone when they seize the server? Are the IPs logged too?

My fault I didn’t explain it. They don’t cut the internet inside the country (look at it as somekind of a intranet network inside a country wide network) which they control it. they cut the access to outside world so access to any service not hosted locally inside the country is instantly lost

Good point this would be a great upgrade I will look into it.

Yes you’re right if my community gets big enough for them to notice. They gonna come after me too. I accepted the risk

There is no way to bypass this. They don’t just filter/censor the Internet. They shut the whole outside of the country access down period. Not even the data centers are exempt. Starlink setup is the only way to bypass this system and it is very illegal and hard to find here

What about when they cut off the internet access to outside the country. That’s the whole point
