I suspect we aren’t high on the targets list. This looks like it’s coming from the edgy part of fedi and we have really relaxed rules here, and we aren’t talking about how “le nazis are at every corner and that it’s only a matter of time until they take over!!1111!!!” every 5s.

It doesn’t seem like they hardcoded a blocklist from what I can tell. I don’t have an apple device so I can’t test memmy. But wefwef works on my end.

Looking into it…

They make it abundantly clear tbf since it redirects you to lemonparty if you access any of their pages.

Not sure what mechanism does it, though. Since it lets me access a thread momentarily and then a few seconds later the redirect kicks on.

Anyways, mfw this happened to an instance that defederated us:

That’s literally misogynistic since most of them happen to be shartphone toting women.

I looove me some MSG. Haters still peddle the debunked studies, but that just means more for me.

Yeah, I’m not doing anything super illegal like unauthorized pentesting. Or doing nmap scans of random servers without other’s permission. Just merely downloading movies, TV shows, and anime.

That’s definitely fair, but the host I’m using says that they don’t obey DMCA takedown notices right on their front page and anyone hosting anything somewhat sketchy recommends them on lowendbox. They’re based in Moldova, a former Soviet country. So they really have no reason to cooperate with feds.

I figure I’m not high up on anyone’s list since torrent swarms are full of IP addresses and any law firm would rather go after anyone based in the US rather than get some federal officials to do an international subpoena for just one guy.

If it’s about making fun of Average Redditors, then I’m all for it. If you do crosslink, use a privacy frontend like libreddit, so that you aren’t funding them with monetized data.

My instance so far still hasn’t been killed by Reddit’s API changes: https://lr.burger.rodeo

I roll my own using a VPS in a different country that has a policy that shits on DMCA. Since all I need is to evade copyright letters when torrenting. If you need the utmost privacy, go with Mullvad or IVPN. Both do not have an account tied to anything and they don’t save payment info. They also accept crypto if you’re into that too. No port forwarding sucks, but I don’t really bother with it on my VPS and still can torrent.

Don’t know about ProtonVPN’s policies, but AirVPN, I’m pretty sure lets you torrent without getting hit with copyright notices. But the former two I mentioned above are the absolute gold standard if you want privacy. Do keep in mind you’ll also need to use a browser that conceals your fingerprint too. That’s almost just as, if not, more important than just getting a VPN and connecting to it. Librewolf is what I tend to go with because it has a hardened user.js out of the box so that you don’t need to keep up with changes upstream from Firefox as far as Mozilla killing/changing features go.

Here’s a list of browsers that were tested against fingerprinting: https://privacytests.org/

Here’s a comparison chart for VPNs too: https://thatoneprivacysite.xyz/

I really wish you could turn it off completely. I don’t want to cache images from other instances since we already store a lot of media as it is.

Happy baby!

Right, just guard your dick because she might cut it off to keep in her possession.

Speaking of, there has to be a better way to detect instances that have defederated. https://fba.ryona.agency definitely isn’t listing some of them. It makes our “still federated” list less accurate.

Pink. Though, those tend to be the crazy ones so you should use plenty of caution when approaching them.

Uhh, this leads to a 404. It’s okay, if you’re too shy to share your code, but I just wanted you to know this, in case this was unintentional. :3

Agreed.

Also I found this to be funny:

“Your thread on Threads has been deleted.”

EEE.

Safe to say that we are definitely not using their fork after observing what’s been transpiring over the past several days.

Darn, beat me to it. I love the project’s mascot! 😍
