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!

    I suggest you open a post somewhere that is “I dont think people should use Tor” and we can argue that there. This seems fairly off-topic here and I don’t plan on arguing with you about if I should use Tor or not. You can count that as a win if you want, I don’t mind.
