Hi,

I'm currently struggling to connect to TOR (see my previous posts)

Therefore I'm looking in the documentation and in the support community. (and been already greatly helped trough lemmy :) )

I was considering to use also the official TOR forum

But I'm surprised that for a project that claim to protect users anonymity and freedom of WWW to use a forum that

request an email address[^one]
That a moderator [^two] need to approve the account
that each new post need to be approved !

So I can't use it[^one] , hopefully their is Lemmy :D

[^one]: Do you know a lot of email service that do not require to provide a proof of ID ? (phone number, ISP email etc..) ? So hard to keep anonymous in those conditions..

[^two]: Moderation do not exist, it is simply censorship, see the work of Noam Chomsky
"If the freedom of expression is limited to the ideas that we like, it is not freedom of expression."

Why do people always think that Tor is a tool for anonymity? Its a government-funded system to pierce through other countries firewalls. Most exit nodes are controlled by the US government.
