[Tornado cash was fully decentralized, non-custodial, unlike most of these garbage mixers.
Someone correct me if I am wrong, pardon my not so technical knowledge background.

How is a service that's "fully decentralized", not have an option for a tor version or even have an option for one to run their own node and run a network of a censorship resistant decentralized service? I mean as soon as the sanction came into play, the main website went offline, default RPC protocols blocked, GitHub deleted, etc

Guess what? It wasn’t decentralised.
As wasabi debacle showed, fully decentralised, censorship resistant, privacy preserving reliable mixers are still to come.

GitHub and Discord servers being taken down is a different (sad) story, involving our trust toward platforms should be neutral.
