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?

    Lemmy is super easy to host, very light on resources. Pictures take up a lot of space but that’s the only limatition rn. Text data is stored forever, it takes up barely any space.
