Hello,

I've written a post that I'd like to distribute as anonymously as possible while still reaching a large audience (if possible). However every forum that has let me create an account through tor always has a server error when trying to make a post. Do you guys have any recommendations for where I could make a forum post from the tor browser?

Thanks

    You could use a VPN to obscure your IP address. Then with the VPN enabled, create an email account using a privacy-focused provider like Proton and use that email address to create a Lemmy / Mastodon account. Then post.

    Perhaps you can get more technical advice in one of the privacy communities.

    https://telegra.ph allows you to post text (and pictures) without having to create an account ..and is accessible from the Tor browser ;)

    Which forums are you talking about ? Discourse based forums ? Reddit ? Lemmy ? Reddit will shadowban Tor and VPN users immediately. Lemmy with some exceptions should be fine is my experience. Note however that Tor circuits can change. For example, a few days in a row I had search engine results thinking I'd come from a certain country and on some sites I was offered to solve reCAPTHAs or blocked for reading things. Then since a few days search engine results think that I come from another country, and I don't have to solve reCAPTCHAs for a site where I had to before. I'm trying to say that it appears that some sites block all Tor but some sites only block some of Tor. You can manually change the country you appear to come from with Tor browser though this is not recommended. Using a VPN is an alternative to HYA.

    you see, the problem is: if you can do that, any spambot or troll farm can do it too...

    Some years ago I was actually able to post to reddit through Tor. Has that really changed?
