Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Operating nodes is expensive, offers no reward, and comes with a serious legal risk.

This won’t stop the NSA from operating a few. I assume that a significant portion of Tor nodes is run by intelligence agencies. If they control all nodes used for a connection(i believe three are used), they can probably piece together what connections a user is having.

I’m under the impression that my use will only make it slower for people who really need it.

Lemmy is an upgrade. So all harm done to reddit is a net gain
