Not exactly what you are asking for, but there is mitra, a microblogging service that can work through Tor and use Monero address for sign in.

A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

MODERATORS
If you're comfortable with markdown, you can check out static site generators like Hugo or Jekyll. Astro is also an option.
Thanks, I will check them out, since a lot of users have recommended these three.
Static sites are the way, especially for a free tier.
Also +1 for Astro from me.
Using an LLM to customize it and set up all the scheduling etc is also very handy.
While some services support payment in crypto, be advised that there's no such thing as complete privacy on the internet.
Three letter agencies will routinely run TOR exit nodes and monitor traffic. You can be profiled merely on your browser configuration and usage behavior (eg mostly posts during daytime in specific country), sentence analysis and words you use. A determined government actor with unlimited resources will be able to track you down sooner or later. They did find Silk Road creators, albeit it took them years.
That being said, tails + tor is a good option. Maybe over VPN so your ISP can't see you're running tor. Run it from USB if possible, that can be quickly discarded. If possible, do not use the computer for anything else - hardware can be fingerprinted. Use a static site generator (such as Hugo). Host your blog on IPFS. Try not to have predictable patterns / times when posting. Run your text through a local LLM to change the words and sentences.
If you opt for a commercial service, find one that accepts payments in Monero, which is completely private.
Other than that - good luck.
A few people recommend Hugo. If you download a template and don’t edit anything, you simply write in markdown and the project generates each markdown file as a blog post typically. Might fit your use case.
I personally don’t really like Hugo, but I was trying to edit things.
Pure HTML pages is easier to setup nowadays as well. You can download a template, and then write whatever you want. If you get stuck LLMs are pretty good at basic HTML, I’d just be careful about it seeing anything you write that might be sensitive.
If you must use an llm, and only for simple drudgery like converting a RTF file to html then styling it under direction, you can run a small local model for that job. Keep it offline and private. A 4B coding model will run on most modern computers.
If your intent is just to put your writing out there, I've heard Mastodon and Nostr can be used over Tor? Not sure about the character limits though, those might be annoying.
Infosec Exchange allows for ~~10,000~~ 11,000 words per post.
Mastodon is not designed for long form articles with propert formatting and multiple hyperlinks.
Perhaps Hugo? It is very lightweight unlike WordPress.
Also you might be interested in I2P instead of Tor as well.
I want other people to be able to read my articles. I am using TOR to protect myself and my family, but the website itself needs to be on the clearnet.
Well I think you have to look in to what tor is and how it works a bit more in that case.
You can access the clearnet from tor. But a service running on tor is a hidden service. Usually only accessible over tor. Unless you mirror the service on the clear web. Which defeats the purpose of using tor anyway in your case.
