    Tor hidden services on a computer you physically control perhaps. I’m working on something along those lines, a self-contained easy-to-install forum system with zero javascript and a layout that works in the standard Tor browser layout. It’s got some other fun security tricks that I don’t see much in other forum software. It’s not intended as a replacement for large-scale interconnected forums like lemmy, it’s more like a replacement for a private discord server.

    I’m expecting to have it ready in a month or so. I’ll make a post about it when I’m satisfied that it’s fit for purpose and reasonably safe. I built something similar years ago but the code was pretty amateurish and I’d feel safer building it from scratch with the experience I’ve gained since then.
