tbh Im not surprised they would. r/piracy is both niche and wouldnt be worth to remove mods for. Subs like r/aww or r/funny however are main parts of Reddit, and this also applies to massive game subs like r/Minecraft
Fully agree. Tbh I’d have no problem even if you said no magnet or torrent links. It’s good to have places for discussion, there are other places to actually go and find those things. Thanks for all the work setting this up hoping it takes off!
It’s probably at the same level of difficulty to set up your own seedbox (i.e. in a VPS or even your own hardware) as it is to set up your own actual Lemmy instance.
Merelly figuring out the fediverse is way less complicated than either of those.
I remember not too long ago (before the discord server went kaput, for other reasons) Sin Eater's Cove discord server posted all links encrypted, and they had a cool bot that could message you the decoded link privately.
Maybe a future bot here could do the same.
But for now posting the encrypted links would be good, just as an extra layer of protection.
I think it's a healthy standard practice to implement when sailing high seas.
That’s awesome! Honestly, the move away from Reddit is probably the best thing that could happen to our community. r/Piracy was always a few DMCAs away from not existing anymore. I’m not super familiar with how Lemmy works under the hood, but from what little I do understand, I think we’re probably safer here.
This gives me an idea. Make a federated torrent site. It would be practically impossible to take down and one instance going offline because they don't have money wouldn't destroy everything like in RARBG's case.
Something I've seen is encoding links and sending people to https://www.base64decode.org/. Whether that alleviates legal risk is questionable (unlikely?), but it does prevent scraping for keywords.
Thank you! Currently the costs would be close to 40 Eur per month, but I’m using some shared resources so the split is not exact. More than 30 Eur for sure.
