I'd gladly run a relay, but an exit on my home ISP? I don't want to go to jail, no thank you: https://husovec.eu/2014/07/austrian-court-sentenced-tor-exit-node-html/
According to your link, hosting an exit node was not a crime by itself, this person pretty much encouraged the illegal activity
True, I did not read the article carefully. I now read the linked German article. There seems to be some uncertainty in the legal opinion of the lawyers cited there regarding the legality of Tor exit nodes in Austria.
You can also run a obfs4 bridge, it's an unlisted relay that only serves as entry node. If greatly helps out users in censored countries.
I was talking about middle/guard relays. The guide also refers to middle/guard nodes. I wouldn't run an exit on my home internet connection either. I use VPS providers for exit nodes.
