Just don't host it there then??? Instead of me coming over to Australia and specifically trying to host content in a country that's going to want me dead for it, why don't you use a Tor CLIENT to come over here where we can host everything on the clearnet without the need for Tor SERVERS? I believe that specifically .onion Blossom servers are a waste of Nostr's time. Tor for any other platform and Tor for any other use is awesome.

I do always use Tor clients to access US-based Nostr services. Thanking y'all, but sometimes people want to host their own servers.
Do you imagine your US-based datacenters are not going to share everything about me with my government if asked?
For non-Americans, #tor is the way.
Yes? There are plenty of servers that even let you pay with Monero. So long as they aren't hosting CP, and so long as they let the NSA spy on everything you use that VPS for, I don't think there is anything preventing a VPS from offering their services to any random person on the internet.
I love datacenters that let me pay with Monero, that's the other half of the equation.
The NSA will simply tell my government what my server is hosting, if it is political content.
My government will then threaten to confiscate the US-based datacenter's Australian assets, if they have any. Or apply to courts in allied nations to do the same.
Yes, there are smaller providers with no assets outside the USA and with admins who never travel. I salute those, but relying on them to "hold up the sky" is madness.
Tor media servers, already!
Yes, the NSA will be after your ass if they ever find out you are Australian. But how would they ever find out?
If I pay with Monero via Tor, they'll really struggle with that :)
Getting access logs will give them my visitors, though. And holding the hosting provider's assets at risk will allow them to shut me down or implant malware.
I offer Blossom over Tor and relays over tor

I added your relay a few days ago, thanks man!
Gotta read up on how to use Blossom, too...
