What's funny on that front is that over on Mumsnet feminism boards, there's a load of people figuring out how to use Tor for the first time and get on the farms. I don't think KF is better on Tor but I think Tor is better for having KF only available on it because it's demystifying the technology and the "dark web" for a bunch of fairly normal people. Which is a good thing.
It's to protect you from being deanonymized, yeah. You could set up a Tor proxy and run your normal browser through it (identifying you) but I don't recommend it. Even if you're not doing anything interesting, using Tor does make you interesting.
How does it de-anonymize me if my browser remembers the KF login details (can't store them because by the time I'm at the login page I'm already in Private mode), or retains a session cookie?
The theory goes, if the browser can offer info on your browsing habits it will identify you. If it can't, it doesn't. So it always "starts fresh" to make sure that info doesn't fall into the wrong hands. The KF login cookie shouldn't be able to be read by anyone but KF, but that doesn't take into account bad actors, persistent trackers, site compromises... etc. So it doesn't take the risk.
Fewer, nigger.
Lack of troon-DoS and fewer niggers makes the site seem way more responsive to me. YMMV.
Not all Tor sessions are equal. If you're having slow speeds, close and reopen the Tor connection as a bad connection won't even load the clearnet error page, but a good one will run almost like you're not using Tor. With Brave it only takes a couple seconds to open a Tor connection so you can cycle through them pretty quick.
First off, it's Eternal September
Some images/ videos don't work correctly for me, and the only post reactions I can do are normal "likes". But as I said in another post, if people get that worked up over fake internet points, they can go back to pReddit. The image thing might be a security setting or the nature of the native Tor browser. Truthfully I haven't seen much difference in videos other than YouTube embedded videos aren't recognized or require a catptcha. But I can get the URL and watch on the clearnet if it's something that I might find interesting to look at.
As a relative newfag to KF (I lurked for a good while before registering after the last opening) but not to Tor or early web 1.0 era stuff, modern people really do seem spoiled when it comes to ease of access with internet and technology. People might marvel at later Millenials/Zoomers when it comes to our seeming comfort with technology, but I guaran-fucking-tee that most would be lost if they had to manually boot to windows from DOS after firing up their 486 PC, or pull their broccoli hair out in frustration if they had to contend with 56K or god-forbid 28K dial-up modem speeds. Early Tor on a PC was almost unbearable at times, modern Tor is equivalent to PC based browsing a decade ago, IMO.
try using tor browser on your PC instead when browsing the farms. it's far more faster than brave and it feels so slick.
I like "Easy to track usernames hall of shame" so keeping retards behind TOR gate doesn't make me very happy but I use TOR by default even when we're on clearnet so I appreciate Null making it more stable and faster.
