Isn't it possible to just move the site under a different domain name, or have mirrored secondary servers in an entirely different location in case the primary one gets taken down?

I'm not sure if duplicate servers are supported with AP, I suspect it will cause the posts to be shared twice.

I have been thinking about whether instances also being available on TOR could help, mostly due to Saudi Arabia banning lemmy.blahaj.zone. Commercial VPN's are apparently something problematic governments detect, so I doubt that accessing the TOR network is safe.
