> HN is very anti-tor If by "HN" you mean the site technology and administrative policy, this is quite untrue. I always connect by Tor (simply because I connect to everything by Tor) and never experience any problems with; torsocks www https://news.ycombinator.com FWIW my account here was created over Tor, and only later when I decided the site was kosher and a relatively friendly place did I decide to add personal details. I don't post here with any illusion of anonymity, rather Tor is part of my daily dealings with the internet for a generally pro-active security stance. I trust that a tool created by the US Navy with "defending and spreading democracy" in mind is fit to defend my own needs. I hope that like Facebook, NY Times and the BBC, we may one day see a Hacker News hidden service onion address. That said there does seem to be a negative attitude toward Tor from certain Cloud companies that Flares up here from time to time. They seem unable to reconcile individual desires for personal privacy technologies with their business model of defending free speech from DDOS attacks. It's a complex problem but I do wish they'd try harder yo get on-board with the programme in a world where threats to clients are at least as serious as those facing service providers.
