Don't mistake spammer management with discrimination. I share
your frustration that TOR isn't more usable than it is today
with CloudFlare etc, but coming with political reasons holds no
water if the reason why it was blacklisted wasn't political in
the first place. It's not false, it just won't work.
Hopefully once that particular user gets discouraged or we find
a way to actually avoid user impersonification, then things
will be able to come back to normal.
The D Foundation now subjects all users having an ip originating
from a tor exit node, to having their posts moderated (but by
whom, when, how, criteria ?? etc).
Literally millions of people could, and probably would, be using
that exit node.
So that is plain discrimination. It's not spammer management.
Forcing people to identify themselves, is also not about spammer
management either.
The D Foundation IS now discimantory against those that want that
believe that freedom and privacy is some to be protected.
This becomes problematic for those of us who work in 'certain
organisations', that insist on tracking it's employees online
activities (even outside of the workplace).
It's a shame the D Foundation has finally succumed to the big
brother mentality - under the guise of protecting you from spam.
