    Strangely enough I can access Element’s website just fine. I’ve heard it being blocked by some ISPs but my ISP hasn’t blocked it (yet). I’m glad that the privacy conscious and open source crowd in India are aware of and use F-Droid so this stupid and illogical ban (which I’ve known about since December of 2023) is easily circumvented. Funnily enough, BJP’s hold over the Indian people seems to be loosening because of some really poor decisions taken by the government after they won last year in the elections, especially with taxes. Satisfying to watch them slowly crumble.

        Indian politics basically works on cult of personality atp and considering the trend of the last 20-30 years regarding which party formed the government, it feels like it’s a dual party system in all but name to be honest.
