Piracy isn't only torrenting. Speeds are better on TOR than I2P, so streaming websites could host the data and allow users to download it directly (DDL). They could also be on TOR and I2P, then provide the DDLs on TOR and torrents on I2P - the best of both worlds.

If all this piracy were running on anonymized networks like TOR or I2P, they'd have a much harder time taking down stuff and censoring it.

Why do piracy apps still put their source on github? It's just asking for trouble...

Was IPFS considered? I've tried it myself but it seems like an unstable product and I'm not sure if it's living up to its promise...

Sounds like a place for toots 🤔 Signal supports admin only chat rooms. Maybe they'll be able to support >1k in the future. Dunno if MLS will be able to do that.

What the fuck? I've never seen a chatroom that big. Must be absolute chaos...

Or are those "just" distribution channels aka admin only posts?

Aren't most of those due to Brazilians? 3M or so?

Misskey? 🤔 I heard it's something Japanese? So probably a lot of Japanese fediverse users use it? I don't think I've seen somebody from misskey in my interactions with the fediverse. Are they self-contained or something?

Decisions like these are why they can't move away from proprietary platforms. How much does it really cost to host and maintain this? A single employee could host a mastodon, peertube, and lemmy instance. The employee could also work full-time on one of the projects to address issues.

They also only had 6 accounts on the instance - out of how many politicians and bureaus?

Anyway... shame.

How big were the telegram chat rooms? Did they ever get that big? The only chatroom I've seen with over 1k people is on matrix and it was relatively quiet. If there's a 1k limit, probably the admin will have to kick inactive users.

Telegram, an essential communication tool for millions, finds itself under scrutiny once again. Copyright holders have long expressed concerns about the lack of enforcement on the platform, and recent actions suggest Telegram is responding. Subscribers to Z-Library's popular channel recently noticed that several of the shadow library's messages have been removed "due to copyright infringement."

How do we contribute from the fediverse?

 

The only real attempt at monetisation that I've seen is https://beetoons.tv/, but they use their own crypto - making it like Odysee. Why is that?

Edit: Please, before you answer consider this monetisation doesn't mean ads!

 

This seems like a perfect usecase for IPFS

 

movie-web was just taken down with all its repos, Yuzu was taken down, then suyu forked it on gitlab and was taken down, countless clones of nintendo games, platform emulators, and a bunch of other things are taken down because they are hosted on the clear web.

If you're a dev and planning to write software for piracy, host it on I2P!

 

So much better now

 

Let's reinvent java bytecode but... different

 

This would be a great development for new contributors!

There was a discussion on LWN.net about it

Quite a few posts about selecting a distro to use. Maybe it's time to make that link a little more prominent?
