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?
Interesting; if I understood this correctly, .onion URLs are resolved in a manner similar to DNS, except federated across many Tor relays in a hash table (possibly in chunks, like for torrents?), so there’s no need to pay a fee to a central domain registrar when creating an .onion address
Yeah, onion URLs are set up in a completely decentralized manner. Anyone can have an onion address for free. The downside is that they’re long and filled with random characters, so people can’t just memorize them.
