   No #MastoAdmin / #FediAdmin should be allowing #Tor IPs to signup if they're doing open registrations in their #fediverse instance anyway. That's just inviting trouble.
   
   If #Wikipedia blocks them, you probably should too. :seija_coffee:

     @vormrodo@social.tchncs.de Can you people get some #readingcomprehension please.
     
     I never said anything about preventing #Tor users from accessing Mastodon. Not even logging-in to their account (so they can sign-up from a "clearnet" IP and then login via Tor afterwards, just like how it's done in #liberachat #IRC). All I'm saying is, if your instance has open registrations without any form of manual vetting or approval before activating the account, then you should prevent #Tor users from just being able to register an account in your instance so your instance isn't just an easy target for spammers to use.
     
     And yes, block the #VPN users too from registering an account. That's what #Misskey's flagship instance at misskey.io already do to prevent non-Japanese users from creating an account there.
     
     Read-only, not 403'ing everything. :seija_coffee:

     @mima Yeah ofcourse block all Tor connections and limitate Mastodon for the folks who have no other option than using Tor to access the Internet freely without surveillance. Sorry but what is this nonsense? Blocking Tor users from registering on Mastodon won't stop troublemakers of switching to VPN providers and continue.

     AnthonyJK-Admin repeated this.
