   TOR exists.
   
   I mean, seriously, it looks like the normie-mastodon part of the network that came from Twitter is here to stay, so the big fediblock iron-curtain is here to stay, too.
   
   So is the blackhat and pedo part of the network, because today's blackhats and pedos simply don't give much of a shit anymore if their stuff gets reported or shut down, they just take their shopping cart somewhere else and take their dumps in that backyard until they get thrown out again. It's not like being on the clearnet is like living in the nice part of town, where you don't have to worry about certain things. Not anymore.
   
   For a multi-user instance, you now have to do the exact same janitorial busywork on clearnet that you'd assume would make life hell on an onion instance: Always have to keep an eye on your own users, lest some of them go on a rampage and get your instance fediblocked and rendered useless for the rest of the users, and constantly maintain block- and filter-lists for the federation, lest some pedos on a coke-bender flood your network timeline with CSAM or the most obscene imaginable drawn images.
   
   Might as well keep doing that and go dot onion to at least remove the target off your back for tattletale activists who think the way to make the world a better place is to report and/or denounce everyone they don't like.

     @squidink7 @kaia @Moon @noyoushutthefuckupdad Ironically the current thrust of the fediverse, which is all about erecting walled gardens and content policing, means that being on the fediverse means losing access to large parts of the fediverse as well.

     @pingviini@pleroma.shunderdo.me @noyoushutthefuckupdad@shitposter.club @Moon@shitposter.club @kaia@brotka.st Unfortunately you lose access to basically all of the fediverse by going .onion, so even if you've reached technical perfection, it'll still be empty unless you can convince everyone to switch to tor-powered networks, with the speed (or lack thereof) that implies

     @pingviini @kaia @squidink7 @Moon @noyoushutthefuckupdad There have been dozens of pedo instances on clearnet and zero on Tor. That said, having registrations on approval-only helps a lot, just to make life easier for those few instances you can federate with if anything.
