Comment:
Again, here's how I would change the email:
{{{
This is an automated email response from GetTor.
You requested Tor Browser for linux.
Step 1: Download Tor Browser
First, try downloading Tor Browser from either GitLab or GitHub:
GitLab: https://gitlab.com/thetorproject/torbrowser-linux/raw/master
/tor-browser-linux64-9.0.4_en-US.tar.xz
Signature file: https://gitlab.com/thetorproject/torbrowser-
linux/raw/master/tor-browser-linux64-9.0.4_en-US.tar.xz.asc
GitHub: https://github.com/torproject/torbrowser-
releases/releases/download/torbrowser-release/tor-browser-linux64-9.0
.4_en-US.tar.xz
Signature file: https://github.com/torproject/torbrowser-
releases/releases/download/torbrowser-release/tor-browser-linux64-9.0
.4_en-US.tar.xz.asc
If you cannot download Tor Browser from GitLab or GitHub,
try downloading the file tor-browser-linux64-9.0.4_en-US.tar.xz
from the following archives:
Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/@gettor
Google Drive folder:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=13CADQTsCwrGsIID09YQbNz2DfRMUoxUU
Step 2: Verify the signature (Optional)
Verifying the signature ensures that a certain package was generated by
its
developers, and has not been tampered with. This email provides links
to signature
files that have the same name as the Tor Browser file, but end with
".asc" instead.
< Include os-specific instructions here >
Step 3: Get Bridges (Optional)
If you believe that Tor is blocked where you are, you can use bridges to
connect
to Tor. Bridges are hidden Tor relays that can circumvent censorship.
Tor Browser includes a list of built-in bridges, which you should try
first.
You can activate built-in bridges inside of Tor Browser's settings,
under the
"Tor" menu. If built-in bridges don't work, try requesting different
bridges,
which you can also do in the "Tor" menu inside Tor Browser's settings.
}}}
I changed the following:
* Mentioned that it's an automated email response.
* Indented text, to create a clearer visual distinction between our steps.
* Made step three optional (it is, isn't it?).
* Removed the email signature.
* Tried to make sentences shorter and more clear.
* Encourage users to try moat instead of email.
* Rephrased step 3.
