[tor-relays] Torservers relay family decreased?

[Traumschule]

Hi,

(it is actually not necessary to speak for Moritz [1] here who is a
core Tor person, but maybe the lastest raids[2] made him a bit more
busy.)

Zwiebelfreunde is a legal body registered in Dresden, Saxony (Germany).

You can contact them via

Maybe they are trying some kind of anonymization to protect their
members against criminalization.
