Tor-Enabled Lemmy Instances: A Dream for Direct Media Sharing (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

Imagine if there were Tor-enabled Lemmy instances, allowing users to share direct media links without any restrictions. The thought alone is enough to make me salivate. Do you think there will be any instances like these if the developers make it possible?

While I like the spirit of the idea, I think it would end up being a huge mess.

Pretty much anonymous accounts tied to junk email addresses
Spam
Misinformation
Hate speech

I don't see such a thing staying federated long, if ever.

I've used Dread before (a Reddit Tor alternative) and didn't encounter any of those issues. Do you speak from experience?

Myself, no. Only that I've read some sites block access from known tor and vpn endpoints for such reasons.
