@delta@chaos.social As more servers came online, the user base also grew. Volunteer teams across various cities in Iran introduced and installed Delta Chat for others, inviting server owners to launch their own decentralized networks. With the addition of servers and contributors, initial issues were resolved, and new ideas were proposed and implemented by developers. For example, each server’s installation page included a section for sharing user IDs. Gradually, more extensive documentation, security solutions, detailed introductions to Delta Chat, and other practical features were organically added to the network by various individuals.

@delta@chaos.social 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🙏
