Comment (by cypherpunks):

 I dislike the automatic redirection for tor users (at least if you
 implement it like it is implemented on lists.riseup.net) because it breaks
 links.

 I want to be able to give out a _single_ URL without knowing if this is
 clicked by a Tor user or non-tor user and they should end up all on the
 _same_ content.

 To give you an example with an URL. If you give this URL:
 - http://lists.riseup.net/directory/tech/
 to a tor user, he will be redirected to
 - http://xpgylzydxykgdqyg.onion/www/
 while non-tor users will see the actual intended content
 for tor users the content would be here:
 - http://xpgylzydxykgdqyg.onion/directory/tech/

 So now everytime I send someone a link I have to send two urls one for tor
 users and one for non-tor users since I don't know if the user uses tor or
 not.
