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?

    We moved to this this host fairly recently, and its been stellar, so there’s no reason to move anytime soon.

    To assuage people’s fears: If the domain or the VPS gets taken down, it’ll take like 2-3 hours at most to migrate and restore everything from backups.
