 				<p>The damn thing is far longer than this, and you can <a href="../../../checktor.js">look at it if you want</a>. What the script does is check the current URL of the page it is running on. If it detects that it contains any of the listed strings, it forcibly redirects the user to a different site. The only way to disable this is by turning off JavaScript in the browser... but considering the average clientele of Tor2web proxies, with that level of effort required you might as well just boot up Tor Browser proper.</p>

How does the signal keep going but stay under the radar?</p>
-				<p>Gemini is one option. In the three years or so since Project Gemini's conception, a quick search shows that seemingly only <a href="https://archive.ph/https://proxy.vulpes.one/gemini/senkals.one/~autunido/homogeneco.gmi">one person</a> has ever made acknowledgement of my <a href="gemini://mayvaneday.org">gemsite</a> beyond a simple "here's a mirror of the all known servers list on the Project Gemini homepage". Which is hilarious, because one would think the average Gemini user would be falling over themselves to make silly little replies crying over how <a href="../january/sappho.html">I think gender is harmful</a>! Every day brings pleasant surprises, I guess. Blocking unwanted visitors on Gemini is nigh-impossible, though, since there <em>isn't</em> an equivalent of the <code>Referer</code> header. (At least, last I checked. I sincerely doubt Solderpunk would have allowed that in the spec.) While HTTP-to-Gemini proxies exist, the clearnet ones can be killed by using <code>iptables</code> to black-hole any requests coming from the proxy's IP, and I have yet to see a proxy that can handle darknet gemsites.</p>

 				<p>Gopher <em>would</em> be an option, but <code>pygopherd</code> is no longer in the Debian repositories since the purge of Python 2.x, and I have yet to find another server that both supports darknets and doesn't immediately crash on my server. And Freenet and IPFS, while usable, have piss-poor content discovery, if at all... and "never able to be found unless you already know where it is" isn't an acceptable outcome in my eyes. I may as well cease to exist, a living death.</p>
 				<p>I <em>want</em> to be found. <strong>I want some woman, somewhere, to know that she is not alone in her struggles.</strong> And as I have engineered Sablade to have an impenetrable cosmic skin no deity can pierce and will spend the rest of my soul's existence <a href="https://archive.ph/35OOF">defending it</a> <!-- https://nitter.letsdecentralize.org/gamutto10/status/1519291896790720512 --> once I am there fully, I am willing to take on the burden of beating back the bad actors to ensure this woman, these women, continue to have a place where no man can harm them. If this is "looking for a safe space", then so be it - but ask yourself why you, the hypothetical person who thinks I am too "sensitive" for this world, are so repulsive that you can only thrive in filth and misery.</p>
