 does TOR favor speed? like, if I set one up would it put a bunch of people on that exit (or relay) or would it just pick at random? i dont know much about TOR other than people like to use it to upload illegal content

 yes nodes advertise their bandwidth, can configure it as well to underutilize if you want
was a bit of a meme answer though as I only recommend it with a cooperative ISP, you'll get flooded with spam/hacking abuse complaints so be well prepared if you do

 the ISP that this server is hosted with is the current KF host. they finally delivered in a new datacenter

 @anime graf mays 🛰️🪐 @:niggy: it's random but proportional to your bandwidth capability and (I think) node reputation. 

People do bad things on Tor yes but it's a technology that will be increasingly important to normalize in the future with tier 1 ISPs starting to act as jannies.
