Now that there’s another Lavender scare going on, will Blahaj consider opening up a Tor hidden service https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.onion

Would there be any issue with abuse? Not saying we shouldn’t do this, I’m for it, but I wonder what downsides we would need to mitigate - I assume trolls and bigots could use this to evade bans?
Maybe users that login with Tor would require special approval for their account before being able to post?
I just don’t want to add significantly to moderation burden.
Not more so than the current anti-abuse methods blahaj already uses. A valid e-mail address, a short paragraph explaining why you want to join the server.
Registration can also be limited to actual IP address.
Locking until your comment score gets high enough and being 30 days old? Or one post/comment a week for the first month?
