Needs research what kind of data is sent to the AI.

Typing pattern? Bad.

Only public information? Maybe OK.

Or maybe only suitable if using local AI only instead of remote (API) based AI.

Consider including the onionsite link in the sign up email as well as clearnet to prevent having to copy parts of the URL manually.

Unfortunately too difficult. Unlikely to happen. Related wiki chapter:

Plugin:

No, but posts can be proofread by the AI with explicit authorization from the user:

Yes.

Possible:

Hardware requirements are demanding, but if there is interest and Hetzner is not sufficient, I can prioritize generating a Markdown table of DDoS-protected web hosting providers with VPS and dedicated servers with cryptocurrency support sometime in the near future into this topic:

Please consider using the Tor Project / Qubes OS forum themes, they can be read with Tor Browser on safest mode, Whonix and Kicksecure forums cannot.

Tor Project Forum is using Material Design:

Qubes OS Forum is just using Default.

What’s broken in our theme?

I seem to be hitting this bug. Too bad it’s upstream.

I see, I can somewhat reproduce the same issue similar to @Patrick:

Does not seem to occur on any other Discourse forum, including the Purism, Qubes OS, Tor Project, and Whonix Forum. The behaviour does not seem to be reliably reproducible through subsequent attempts on Discourse Meta either, so it may only occur within a fresh operating system session.

Any of them using the standard theme?

Discourse Meta uses Meta Branded, which is proprietary:

Purism uses Default, Whonix uses Default, and others were previously tested and posted with results above:

I can test more Discourse forums and provide additional results if needed.

No more testing needed for now.

Since they’re using default theme, and Whonix using default theme, this bug remains unexplained. And I don’t know how to debug it any further because upstream isn’t interested in this bug.
