Very interesting, I think I’ll probably be using Tor for my Lemmy usage from now on, or at least a VPN since this does have the potential to be used maliciously in personal DDoS attacks.
Annoyingly, lemmy.world blocks tor. They should host a tor onion service
Are you sure about that because I can open and view lemmy.world just fine in Tor, I think what they mean is federation between hidden services i.e. lemmyinstanceoniondomain.onion is blocked or just not implemented.
I can if I use a browser and solve the cloud flare capt ha, but not if I use sync behind tor
I haven’t gotten Cloudflare captchas on lemmy.world yet, Haven’t tried using an app with Tor, as a general rule it’s best to use Tor through the browser since it has features to reduce fingerprinting and MITMs
Your IP isn’t a secret. There plenty of ways to get it. And this one doesn’t even link it to your identity
It’s not about identification it’s about being disconnected in a DoS by someone with faster internet (until I can get a new one, dynamic IP rotates).
DoS is expensive. Who the hell would spend money just to get you disconnected? Nobody cares about your connection
