I know you all are dealing with DDoS and how that goes. I run DDoS mitigation for some juicy targets and do a lot of on-call response to handle those issues, so believe me when I say I know what you are dealing with.

However, that being said, it appears you are blocking tor exit nodes with a 403, likely at your web termination point (nginx, apache, whatever), and this kind of sucks.

I get that tor can bring some attacks, and I fully support a modulated response to those attacks, preferably one with a reasonable time decay, but please don’t just block all of tor

Alternatively, be one of the cool kids, and setup an onion service for lemmy.world!

    If you could reduce your arguments to smaller, digestible chunks that can be engaged with, then I would. Your format for engaging, with huge long argumentation, is just too exasperating to bother to attempt to reply. It is not the content, or arguments, I’d happily discuss those with you in person or by email like this, but this isn’t email, or usenet, and there is no way way to reply in line, quoting what you said, so I can reply to specific points. Instead, you write a kind of essay of points that stops any meaningful reply. I tried to engage that way, and I’m frustrated that I can’t actually, and properly, reply to you, especially the points that are wrong, or specious argumentation, but this message alone took me so long to write, and I’m just talking about how I am only really writing this point and not engaging with your arguments, that I’m not going to continue in this venue, in this way.

    If you would like to exercise your arguments, maybe bring them to the Tor forum, where it is designed for this kind of structured discussion, or the mailing list.
