Can't find any forums that allow for Tor posts (lemmy.ml)

Hello,

I've written a post that I'd like to distribute as anonymously as possible while still reaching a large audience (if possible). However every forum that has let me create an account through tor always has a server error when trying to make a post. Do you guys have any recommendations for where I could make a forum post from the tor browser?

Thanks

Unless you're trying to mask your identity from your ISP, instance or government, I don't really see how tor is useful here, given that you're presumably posting on the clearweb anyway.

It's hard to give specific useful advice, because you're so vague about what you're trying to post, and who you want anonymity from. If it's just other users on lemmy, don't bother using tor, just create a burner account and access it normally via the web.

Unsurprisingly, instances aren't super keen on letting users access their platform via tor since it's an effective method of ban evasion, and thus people will mostly be using it to post awful things they didn't want in the first place.
