For the past four months beehaw has been unreachable to those of us on the Tor network. Glad to see access was finally restored. Was there an attack?
I could really use a way to periodically backup my posts to my local disk so if Tor is spontaneously blocked again I at least have my history. I’ve not found a Lemmy equivalent for Mastodon Archive.
(edit) For security, it would be a good idea to setup an onion instance. The Tor network has built-in DDoS protection for onion hosts.
Isn’t TOR kind of shady? Like, mixing your traffic in with a bunch of malicious and potentially actually illegal with good reason traffic?

I think most of Tor’s users are legitimate, though I would be interested in seeing the actual numbers (if that were even possible). Tor’s awesome for privacy-focused individuals. There’s a ton of tracking done for lower-impact things like advertising and profiling, and for people who feel strongly about that, Tor adds an extra layer (or a few extra layers technically) of privacy.
