I mean you can very much onion route to a regular server, if it allows connections from Tor.

Unfortunately Tor means it's very hard to IP ban abusers, so a lot of services automatically ban common Tor exit nodes.

This is basically true. You need to have certain DNS configurations you cannot afford on Tor hidden services to federate, and while you still could be listening on a Tor hidden service, clearnet servers would still need to reach you to federate.

On top of that, even if you somehow manage to do that, either youre federation trafic goes through Tor (lmao how to DDoS Tor in 1 step), or It doesn't and all servers can see your public IP, which deafeats the purpose.

Good to hear that’s still up! I remember when some dude got that up and running shortly after the darknetmarkets sub was closed down.
