As Lemmygrad grows, it puts itself in more and more danger of being censored by capitalist countries, just like the communist communities on Reddit. Including things like getting delisted on DNS servers, getting its IP blocked, and in the worst case the .ml domain org pulling the domain. Especially if they get some “incentives” by certain US organisations.

For these reasons, I think we should be making an onion site as a backup, so worst case we can still access it via Tor. Not a separate instance, just an onion site pointing to the main Lemmygrad. As far as I know it’s pretty easy (and free) to make and maintain an onion domain.

What do you think?

    Been thinking is it really practical to stay anonymous by using Tor? specifically for counter insurgent stuff or just stuff you don’t want people associating with ur irl identity… Edit: I think I mean insurgent… I get confused.

        • People are generally exposed because of carelessness (could be something as simple as not clearing cookies properly or being logged in to multiple accounts simultaneously) rather than a problem with the Tor network or some organization happening to own all of the Tor nodes in a circuit

      Def don’t be using this site to do anything remotely illegal, that puts everyone at risk… its a public space after all. If you need genuinely secure comms use matrix.

        ok, maybe what I want to develop with my california seperatist movment is too much for this site… it’s hard to say because I try to make any call to action ambiguous regardless

        (FYI that doesn’t have to do with my quest for anonymity, that is for different projects that challenge very powerful people directly and bluntly)
