They'll delete that post and ban you as soon as Zig or Emma comes online since it mentions this site, by the way.

Good to see them upgrade to V3, though.

The software that powers this site was made for that site, by the way. In case you didn't know.

Finally. They had that v2 onion for years and couldn't be bothered to flip that one switch to make it v3.

Does it even work? I stopped using the v2 onion after it died for like a year or something.

Well, reddit over VPN probably works better, unlike 4chan, which doesn't work over Tor, VPN, proxies, or whatever. But still, if you can, delete your reddit account. And uhh, don't be like me, who had to make a second reddit account just because I screwed up my phone, somehow, and I had to factory reset it, therefore losing my two-factor authentication codes. And if you're an EU citizen, make sure you don't use the normal deactivation process. Make sure to back up 2FA!

this seems like the opposite of what is needed. instead of making an actually secure and decentralized human readable name system they are falling back to the x509 ca cabal money printer.

What is the Sybil attack? Is this a term that is well defined with Tor?

It's defined as:

In a Sybil attack, the attacker subverts the reputation system of a network service by creating a large number of pseudonymous identities and uses them to gain a disproportionately large influence.

Basically running a large number of network nodes (relays, exits) to analyze traffic and stuff.
