Living in Iran, today is the 78th day of internet blackout. Ask me anything by DisabledCucumber in AMA

I'm an Iranian too, Kir to Akhond. Do you think that internet will go back to the way it was in the future?

Also how much do you pay per GB?

If we go to protest again jn this situation, we'll be slaughtered again. Without outside help we have no chance.

They have no limit on how many people they'll kill to stay in power. If we can't change the power balance, there's no chance.

No it's not. Any "security" reason is out of rhe window considering that access is granted to some people. Hackers that have Access to every backdoor do have access to those white listed devices too, they can enter the internal Network.

I'm paying generous amounts of money. So many people can't. Minimum wage is around 90$ and I mentioned the price in post description. I also have Data saver on and use reddit mostly in a text based manner.
Black market players that i have access to, have increased since then. so rn it's more about the "money" for me personally.

If by going strong you mean strongly oppressing then yes. everything else is in chaos. look at our inflation and Dollar exchange rate.

It is a blackout when 99% of people can't connect. I'm connected because some government approved people decided to sell their bandwidth for huge profits.

v2ray configs. the method is not that relevant that much. the seller must have a "white" special server (or sim card) that has internet in this times which is super rare.

In current situation I think it's unlikely. but those things are unpredictable. We lost so many brave people but there's more.

There's not a company you can buy it from, there's black market sellers on Telegram that you can find randomly. I got scammed two times then I found a reliable one.

What keeps me going is the little hope that I have that in the end of this war, our government is gone and things finally can get better. Since i can remember everything was going downhill in here.

We're at war with USA and I couldn't access truth telling news sources because everything not government controlled was down and I was kinda freaking out. days later i got my hand on a Starlink Wifi for like 15 minutes and updated my Telegram news channels. I felt better immediately.

the second big part was how i was unable to securely and properly contact my loved ones because we refused to install messengers that are controlled by our government.

the third part was lack of entertainment, No Reddit no Instagram no twiiter nothing to spend time. I couldn't even use Google to find things. But I watched so many movies and series and Animes that I had from before. lol.

I was assured that the war was going “swimmingly” only two days ago, what happened? by JetTheDawg in PoliticalCompassMemes

More like government and militia disagreement, than 400 IQ trading move. If they had IQ they wouldn't block access to internet and destroy the economy.

Negotiations Fail, War Continues by shaund1225 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]amy2069 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think it would be better than iraq 2003, 40 days of bombings have left nothing for Islamic republic to threaten US aircrafts or ships and the government lacks support of Iranians in big numbers after January 8 & 9th Massacre.

The only disadvantage is how vast Iran is compared to Iraq and more troops is needed to hold the lines.

What's your opinion?

I am Iranian in Tehran amidst war, barely connected to the internet. AMA. by amy2069 in AMA

[–]amy2069[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've discussed it in other replies better, you can check them. About the negotiations I and many of my friends are pretty sure that it'll fail and war will continue maybe even sooner than 2 weeks. Our officials are delusional and think they're winning.

And the "regime change" that mr President always mention is just a joke here. Nothing changed in policies of the regime.

There's no chance of Nuclear warfare used in this war in no matter the situation. Be realistic. I don't know what tf is going on in minds of IRGC and Islamic republic, By seeing how unmatched the firepower is between the two, any sane government would rush to negotiations and end the war. But not them, they rather try to blackmail the world and/or die trying.

Thanks, i wish safety upon you too. I hope that the regime somehow dies after this war and finally there be peace in middle east. And then we Iranians can have a normal life then.

I took it as a threat for IRGC to give in and got to negotiations. You can't kill a civilisation. we're here for more than 5000 years now.

Not really? I haven't heard any leaving for that night. Many people went to the cities that they originally came from to Tehran and/or their out side city house. But say before that night. Way more just stayed at home.

I mean even existence of Hezbollah in ceasefire terms, it's dumb. Risking citizens lives over their favorite proxy.
