Are a new user of the Tor-network or do you run a relay, yourself?

You can read the FAQ about your concerns and voice your remaining questions.

This is how Tor works. Every client has to know about every relay. Every
relay has to know about every other relay. Authorities create and
publish a (network-)consensus containing all running relays, including
their IP-address(es).

For censored users there are bridges and pluggable transports. For
relays it hasn't been considered dangerous to publish information about
them, even if those information are on a public website.
