An excellent point! it's actually not as much anonymity being a goal (accepted long, long ago that my footprint's too messy now to ever be salvageable against anything more determined than your average kiwifarms doxxer lol, which is a *credible* threat, mind, but think i have that mostly contained), but (a) building a more censorship-resilient ... non-social media art presence? and (b) using hosting ability and my audience spread to give other artists / hobbyists that same resilience.
like ... there's a group of us queer/kinky NSFW artists that've actively had our posts removed from twitter/dA/instagram/patreon/etc in addition to tons of doxxing campaigns, so I would say *that* would be the threat model .... except that's frankly, impossible to work around, other than to build your own site and defend from "your own turf", so to speak?
(for a specific example i was looking into today - eg mirroring kradeelav.com as kradeelavhgfcsdhhd.onion to have a version on there as well as the clearnet, and both sites with resources to give other artists the tools to replicate that with minimal pain. also a layered defense so that when the US firewall turns into the Great Firewall, there's already that built in 'nanana already outside your firewall, try again bro' vibe.)
it's interesting - so many of the hacker resources i've read focus on anonymity rather than the challenge of simply keeping your stuff *up* on the tubes. it's also why i've invested hard into a home printer with zines and building the physical infrastructure there - turns out printed media in the end might be harder to censor than digital all along.
