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?
ATM? Active … Monthly? Can’t make out what it stands for…
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?
374·2 months agoDecisions 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.
I saw a signal group too. I guess this is going to be the aftermath: piracy messenger wars. What do people talk about in piracy chatrooms anyway?
Glowie? Do people call each other glowsticks nowadays?
I don’t believe you want a genuine answer. You’ve already made a decision, so no matter what I say, you won’t agree with it 🤷 There’s no need to continue.
What “ignorance”? The licensing link is added manually. I’ve read it.
Very weird… I’ve had the same clients (Element) for years and haven’t been logged out once. Just out of curiosity, do you switch between the clients (Element on one computer, Schildichat on another)? That could be the problem.
Which client are you using and when was the last time you used it? I haven’t had those issues in about 3 years on Element.
It has a shiny chat interface and that’s all people care about 🤷
On the face of it, I appreciate that it looks funny, but the power dynamics are quite different. If I’m caught pirating, my ass could land in jail. If a company is caught pirating, it’s written off a business expense.
Would you find it as ridiculous if a slave whipped their owner? If the poor stole from the rich? If the weak took power from the powerful?
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.
