    I hate everything that’s being done. A large part of my family lives there, and just getting them on a call is now not an easy task.

    (I mean, I hate Putin and his government for many other things too. Restricted Internet perhaps is the least of their crimes, but this least is getting longer and longer and longer…)

      Obtain a Kasachstan or Byelorus sim card, install it on a burner phone with the Max messenger for minimal overall pain.

        I won’t use Max under any circumstances and won’t recommend it to my family. Testing out SimpleX for now.

          I have no interest nor trust in Max, but as long as the Cheburnet Wars continue it will be the easiest way for nontechnical people to make voice calls.
