It doesn’t use chatmail but sharing bc of the webxdc support! It uses the “[marmot](https://github.com/marmot-protocol/marmot)” protocol that is built on Nostr ---

The protocol will be blocked in Russia and that will be the end of it. ---

How would that happen? ---

Just like they blocked WhatsApp, Telegram, YouTube, and so on. But of course it will continue to work in other countries. ---

Nostr is a protocol just like chatmail. It’s just a bunch of different servers running on regular web traffic. ---

It is often easier to block protocols, because they often have plaintext metadata that says “I am protocol X”. Deltachat messages say “I am an e-mail”, and any government that blocked all e-mails would abruptly have serious problems. Russia does block all e-mails not from government mailservers in some remote areas, and may extend this strategy in future. ---

Remember that HTTPS is blocked even less often than SMTP & IMAP, so messaging protocols that support web apps are at an advantage here.

Another Nostr app that wants to support WebXDC. [GitHub - ZharlieW/Aegis: Simple and cross-platform Nostr signer](https://github.com/ZharlieW/Aegis) > ## **Future plans** > > - **Nostr apps** – Support local WebXDC format. I’m glad that WebXDC is getting support over there! ---

Vector messenger has updated to a new protocol format that seems pretty cool. Basically this is how Chatmail would implement user roles/permissions as well: [Concord Protocol | Vector Privacy](https://vector-privacy.gitbook.io/vector-privacy/vector-privacy/concord-protocol)
