What do you think about using Jami as a decentralized, secure messaging tool for communication when an authoritarian regime tries to cut the whole nation away from the Internet?

I guess we better prepare options now, before it's too late and we can't communicate with our Russian and Ukrainian friends any more...

If you are a translator for Tusky, now is a really good time to check your language in the beta release and update it to make sure the Tusky 16.0 release gets as polished as possible!
