To the developer working on SimpleX,
Why are you still using Microsoft Github ? (and by extend Reddit ! )

I had myself a question for the maintainers. I was planning to use the discussions and to do so, create an account :'( But it seem that Microsoft really doesn’t like Tor:
Cheers.
Once you have signed up with Github, and enable 2FA, it will be fine with Tor browser. No more nagging or errors.
But you give them the metadata during the registration so it doesn’t really make sense to use Tor after that
Have you tried a signup via a VPS provider or thought about going to your local library or some bar to use the public WiFi there with an obscure browser running in a VM that you will delete later ? It is years ago that I signed up with Github so I could press star or follow some issues of projects. I thought it was nice to find out that after enabling 2FA it was worry free using it with Tor browser.
Yea I forgot about public WiFi + protected OS trick. That should help quite a bit. But the other issues with GitHub (censorship etc) will still be there unfortunately
