Maybe a TLF "onion" site could solve all these concerns and at the same time open up a world of possibilities for site users. :)

Meanwhile, with every passing day, Europe blocking X seems more and more appealing. (Especially so if Musk blocks Starlink in Ukraine)

That would be a pain.
I depend on a US forum for help in maintaining my (American) car.
That said, it doesn't have the equivalent of a Current Affairs board.

If that Board were closed on TLF it would largely eliminate the moderation problem, much as one might enjoy ventilating on it.

IMO most acts of moderation are now removal of spam and AIs. C.

Here’s a site providing a creditable synopsis / extracting the important bits for operators of small sites.

Lemonfool admins may find it useful.

Repeal it - simple!

Pity there isn't any software that blocks access to a site by all politicians and civil servants?

I suppose TLF could block access to anyone other than a registered member?
