Already contacted @AOU and suggested using Unstoppable Domains and getting an .onion service.

Also, I suggest users use Brave Browser since it not only has TOR built in with private windows but also has partnered wth Unstoppable Domains to fully support blockchain based DNS.

edit: It seems to be back up. I posted on some other similar sites and it started working again in a few hours. But AOU should take precautions now.

Some people say brave is bad, but for having switched several times between firefox, chromium, and ungoogled-chromium, I have to say that I don't share that opinion, that brave is bad

Brave also has its search engine, as @Skysearcher2 mentioned, and yes it overall feels better than ddg

ungoogled-chromium started to give me technical issues lately, I thought maybe google is counter attacking the project by including subtle changes in the code base that renders it unstable or unusable for some stuffs the moment one starts removing particular google tied stuffs from the code base. ungoogled-chromium is maintained by amateurs, they are good at what they do, but are they good enough? How long are they going to be able to remain good enough to handle the job, if we're not already past that point?

...

So yeah, back on topic

We need a backup plan @AOU you know it's only a matter of time before we really do https://poal.co/s/PoliticallyIncorrect/388065

Something that can stay afloat even during hyperinflation times ideally https://poal.co/s/markets/387145

Again, it's backup plan, so yeah it comes with a "of course there are downsides", such as "it's a .onion" as OP suggested for instance, like welcome to mandalore underground where virtually only us can read our shit and there's only tapioca to eat... Still better than nothing at all.

Point being that, we shouldn't take for granted what we have now, things can always change drastically in a not so distant future, and despite all their rants, the voat crew was happy to be at least able to regroup here. Some stayed, some went away, but that's a different topic

I was in the Brave Search beta and I prefer the https://searx.ninja instance of the https://searx.me meatsearch engine framework. You can deploy it yourself, it's open source, and you can make a public instance. It pulls results anonymously from the major search engines and some others.
