And I mean A LOT. And that just won't happen. I believe it's more important to make it easy for people to detect Tor and deal with it differently in the first place. The second step then is to provide useful alternatives to blocking. Currently, what happens is that sites just ban/blacklist the IPs, often automatically and "forever". When people report abuse to us, I have a hard time helping them. All I can do is point them to the DNSBL and the Bulk List Exporter, and ask kindly to not block these IPs for too long, but most likely they will load it into their iptables and that's that. My vision would be a Wordpress plugin that lets me choose to deal with Tor users differently, say, automatically require moderation on comments.

I would like to see a list of sites that block Tor. We can then try to contact them individually to discuss potential alternative strategies. -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/
