You don’t want to be wacked off to only run Monero nodes over VPN or TOR, but it is our fallback.
They couldn’t stop torrents. They couldn’t stop MP3’s.
They won’t stop Monero, unless the people bend the knee. You bend the knee when you don’t have the cajones to run a Monero node.
Who’s ready to risk a little for freedom?

Right. If your computer is powered on anyway, running a node itself is not a big deal as far as electricity is concerned.
@dMartian@monero.town When someone is posting a link to Twitter (X), it’ll be nice if they copy-paste the tweet itself too, so that everyone can safely read it.
yes we should have a nitter bot, like the piped bot.
here it is a pleasure to strip the data out of the API for you: https://nitter.net/sethforprivacy/status/1715370818195140720
Thanks :) It’s great that nitter.net stopped blocking Tor again! I happened to notice that a while ago too, via c/monerochan https://monero.town/post/901193 - ideally privacy advocates should stop using Twitter itself though…
The most centralized part of the Monero network may be mining (i.e. potential weakness, as a centralized pool is an easy target for “them” to shut down), without which the network wouldn’t work. Ideally, if possible, users may want to consider running p2pool too, not just a full node. Like monerod, p2pool can be a background task, not using full cores, so one can still use their computer like normally, even if it’s not a dedicated box for mining.
