#2Has anyone tried using TOR as a replacement for Cloudflare DDOS protection? There is a single hop mode on hidden services.

#3These are likely nation state actors who have the ability to fund these attacks. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re using advanced techniques to slow down the network and track the routes as they traverse. I would be wary of anonymity while using tor during one of these attacks.

#4I wish people stopped using discourse.
Sending pictures of pieces of hand written paper over email would be a more user friendly and usable interface than this javascript mess.

I prefer it over every forum I’ve used, especially on mobile.

One of the design goals of Discourse was that it should work well on mobile phones. I guess most other forum software is either from the time of before widespread smartphone use or it doesn't consider mobile users. With that being said, I actually don't like discourse's UI and prefer more classical forums like PHPbb.

The problem is, that it still requires an address (be it tor or IP). Even if you run the script locally, there is still a need to communicate input and output. So people can just ddos that page.
Works great for combating human spam though. You tend to behave better if your login took half a day to get and expires quickly when not used. Plus build in cool down time after getting banned.

I wish for the opposite.
