Hi!
Below is my January’24 report!
In
January, I resolved 531 tickets:
On
Telegram (@TorProjectSupportBot) - 404
On
RT (frontdesk@tpo) - 115
On
WhatsApp (+447421000612) - 9
and
on Signal (+17787431312) - 3.
My
main focus of work is to help Russian-speaking users use Tor
Browser and circumvent internet censorship. In January, there
was a visible increase in the number of users from Russia
requesting bridges and assistance with connection to Tor. The
spike is visible in the Metrics data [1]. The increase can be
explained by the upcoming presidential elections in Russia in
March'24 and the blocking of popular messengers like WhatsApp in
some regions of Russia in the course of protests [2].
I
also assisted with Russian localization,
focusing on reviewing
and approving
existing translations and fixing minor errors.
In
January, we again faced an increased number of tickets from the
OPPO phone owners, who struggle to use Tor Browser
on their devices [3].
With
the help of our users, I reported several minor issues like:
- check.torproject.org
not working [4]
Also
in January I took part as a moderator in the Relay Operators
Meetup[5].
