If you live in Mississippi, you may have noticed that you are no longer able to log into your Bluesky or Dreamwidth accounts from within the state.

      The problem is if this gets adopted on a large enough scale not even Tor will save us, all the exit nodes will be subject to censorship. Tor only works because there are some countries which have totally free and open internet. Unless you’re talking about moving completely to the darknet.
