Okey, so what is conclusion of your point? You can sue any instance for anything, so what should instance owners do? Sounds like “not having an instance” is the only right answer to your logic.

Seriously, let’s just sue lemmy.world because lemmy.dbzer0.com talks about piracy.

Well, blocklisting certain communities does not make you un-sue-able. 🤷🤦

The Pirate Bay is “technically” not breaking any laws

As another user mentioned, TPB hosting magnet links and torrent files. Bring down TPB site down = no access to torrent files/magnet links = you can’t download the torrent (teoretically). Sharing link to TPB site does not break any laws and is totally legal.

You don’t have to break laws to get in trouble if you are pissing off rich people. They’ll find something, anything, to nail you on. It’s totally ok for random normal people to not want to be “heroes” to a bunch of other random people they don’t know. Heroes attract villains, and instability. And while it’s just starting to get off the ground, lemmy doesn’t need villains or instability.

Basically “Lorem ipsum”

Let the smaller, less visible servers do the shady but “totally technically legal” stuff.

So you do support piracy? Or not?

Big servers with big targets on their forehead need to be stable and drama-free.

“drama-free” lol. This is drama. This is drama that should not have happened in the first place.

What part is illegal? Are they sharing files on that instance and your instance re-hosts it?

From my understanding, discussions are legal, guides are legal, tips are legal, but actual files (aka “copyrighted content”) is illegal. There are no files shared there, links at maximum, but institutions should be after those content-sharing websites, not forums.

I am against this decision and I am happy that I am not part of admins team.

Would it be possible to ratelimit connections/requests? Some sort of AI-based blocking? What are current technologies to battle such DDOS attacks?

Where can I find full list of installed alternative UIs?

I think crypto wallet is way to go, isn’t it?

Btw I use unknown OS!

lemmy.world is a test environment for Lemmy developers… 😅 Jokes aside, issue is an issue.

I see Discord as a communication platform while Telegram is a chat app.

I need chat app lol.

Telegram is in every way better. My primary reason for prefering Telegram over anything else are bots (API specifically). I mean bots functionality is so awesome that I can’t properly describe how awesome it is. <3

Lmao

Telia internet, Lithuania. 19,90€ per month, unlimited.

940mbps down & 580mbps up. Unlimited internet, fiber. Telia is known as trusted company that does not care about torrents and most importantly - never throttles or provides lower speeds. This ISP delivers what is promised. <3

Also it’s Jellyfin&friends (radarr/sonarr stuff), so it’s all automated. Nearly 40TB of storage in raid5 and automatically downloads movies and some tv shows. And in 4k:) sometimes 100gb per movie.

A bit more “home user friendly” explanation:

Basically your home PC where you download “Linux ISOs”. But because you don’t like picking everything (movies/tv shows/etc, but not pc games) manually - you want to automate it.

“Automate” is called Jellyfin/Plex and underlaying microservices, such as Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, QBittorrent, Bazarr and so on. You want this to be available 24/7 so it automatically adds content (movies/shows) to your “wishlist”, downloads when it becomes available and automatically appears in your Jellyfin/Plex server.

This is why you usually dedicate a server for this, which runs 24/7, usually at home. And I guess you call it “seedbox”.

Some other users set up VPN on their server, configure qbittorrent to use ONLY vpn connection (to avoid getting emails from their ISPs for pirated Linux ISOs lol) and call it “seedbox”. They first torrent anything to seedbox, then they download from it to their PC. In my case it’s not needed, since everything is automated and I access all my “Linux ISOs” from Jellyfin.

What is “seedsize”? 🤔

Connect for Lemmy used to throw error, giving you a illusion that posting a comment failed, so you click again. Rinse repeat.

This is why there are duplicate posts/comments.

For me problems were gone when I switched to Liftoff app.

Imagine hosting a service for anyone else to use it, free of charge, no ads, free & open API, yet some idiots think it’s fair to (D)DOS it.

There are more “interesting” targets, worst case - Reddit, who thinks everyone is just a number/noise.

Just leave Lemmy alone. :(
