I will not be spinning up instances of anything. I will seed hashes in bittorrent-like P2P networks, I will put my posts where they fit, I will look for posts from others in the most anti-censorship ways I can find, and I will hope devs and server admins create a version of Lemmy that’s fitting for more of my posts - while hurrying toward a possible future where Tor isn’t enough to make Lemmy relevant anymore, because P2P networks become the only place worth posting anything.

    Look, I appreciate you trying but this really isn’t a takedown.

    1. The IP blocking is an issue regardless of TOR or not. There is nothing stopping me from spending 10 bucks to get a couple gigs of proxy data and having access to all the IPs I want for using hexbear. I could be running the rhetoric of this entire site in a matter of months and you wouldn’t even know it. Hell, to your point I can still use TOR to get access to hexbear right now, that’s not even what this discussion is about.
    2. “There’s still the possibility of fucking up and exposing yourself.” Is not an excuse not to add an additional layer of security. We are in deep shit if this is how Leftists are gonna approach opsec in the future.
    3. You’re not even addressing the base concern that spawned this conversation which is that by putting services like Lemmy onto TOR it makes it harder for the sites to be taken down.

    It’s nothing personal but I’m not gonna respond after this. I’m really getting tired of being pulled into deep-nesting after deep-nesting by folks who are just repeating what other people told them. If you folks have not at the very least, run your own hidden service, you are not equipped to be lecturing or debating people on TOR.
