I wouldn’t say I’ve given up, but I think my forms of resistance are invisible. We’re seeing a ton of censorship and media repositories and resources being attacked. My spouse is a physician, and they may have been part of some groups of physicians on Facebook that did peer organizing, and that is no longer a safe space, so I use my sysadmin skills to maintain private social networks for them to collaborate on; I am also doing a large archiving service that is semi-private using zimit and mwoffliner to go into kiwix so the government can’t kneecap their ability to provide medical care that may include things dis-favorable to the regime. I regularly snapshot and offline critical resources to them via a network of crawlers I maintain.

This is exactly what a good resistance looks like. Keep it up!
Good to hear you haven’t given up.
Keep up the good fight. 👍
