You’re saying they’re looking for an excuse to shut down? Yeah honestly that’s what I figured, locking comments doesn’t make any sense otherwise.

After the call for admins, there was never an indication that the search wasn’t going well. Honestly, I would’ve put some time in (& I’m sure many others would’ve) if we’d known closure was imminent.

I mean, that’s basically the same as Arch.

This is such a good game. It might honestly be the best RTS that exists right now for online multiplayer.

Setup an autocorrect phrase :D

The reason this is as public as it is is because an archive like this is more useful the more is archived. If you manage it in an entirely hidden way, you basically won’t get it accessible from the clearnet and are relegated to keep it on Tor or similar. And once you do that, a lot less people will use it and thus it’ll be a lot less useful.

Also, they are not only fighting for an archive to exist, they’re fighting for it being a societally acceptable thing to exist.

I am one with everything, so by speaking about myself, I speak about the whole of reality. Checkmate!

Everyone is a woman on this blessed day!

This is one of the funniest posts I’ve seen here so far. Thanks for that! I unfortunately don’t otherwise have anything to add that hasn’t already been said, just wanted you to know that I enjoyed it a lot :)

Makes sense :)

Doesn’t the Netherlands help you pay for your home if you’re too poor to be able to yourself?

I’m not saying don’t give anything, just wondering.

Of course they’re fucking leechers, only 0.3 ratio? Pathetic

I mean, if it’s old and no one cares, I really don’t think it’s a big deal. Yeah, there’s risk, but they likely get DMCAs already all the freakin time from more recent stuff. There’s no risk for them because they’re not the perpetrators, their users are.

I’d say just put it on archive.org. Just use a VPN and no email that can be traced to you.

Worst thing really that will happen is that it’ll get removed?

yt-dlp was created in October 2020, Soulseek in April 2001, torrents in Juli 2001. Your “ol’ reliable” was created 5 years ago, 19 years younger than its competition. Youtube itself was founded in 2005.

I’m not sure you know what “ol’ reliable” means ;)

Meh, just go to /r/anime_titties for the main global news source subreddit…

Yeah but that’s what I’m saying, this happens in exactly the same way on Reddit too

So much talk about duplicate communities, which is just so weird to me, seeing as reddit also constantly has duplicate communities despite being centralized :D which one the main one is also sometimes changes based on events/drama

Seems to me just people being resistant to change just because it’s change.

Federation doesn’t allow you to ignore DMCAs, not hosting in the US does. Federation has absolutely no impact on DMCA’s functioning.

Isn’t git technically already P2P? Everyone has the complete repo, and everyone can pull from everyone else, as long as a connection can be established. The networking/organization of this is just not automatic.
