To this day, while internet restrictions persist, Delta Chat has become the communication platform for a significant portion of users. There are no precise statistics available on the number of servers or users, but based on my own involvement in setting up servers and collaborating with other installers, and by averaging the user counts per server, I can estimate that over (250 Delta Chat host servers) with more than (300,000 users) are active in Iran and I know the actual numbers are far higher.
This report does not mention by name all the individuals and supporting organizations involved, but I sincerely thank every member of this collective effort. This event stands as a symbol of the power of free software and community solidarity in preserving decentralized communications in Iran.
به امید آیندهای بهتر برای ایران عزیز🖤
با تشکر از همهی افرادی که در این جریان کمک کردن🙏

@delta@chaos.social @abbas_dp@techhub.social Amazing work! It would be great to see your server installation guide, if it simplifies the 'official' process. I don't read Persian but maybe @Mehrad@fosstodon.org could help translate? With the Signal servers under pressure (technical or political?) yesterday, we need more decentralised options here too.
