Since you’re maintaining a subreddit, you might want to create a comm in lemmy as well. Reddit has already taken down other piracy subs like GenP

If this comm or instance is taken down, its content is still cached on all other instances it federated on naturally. You don’t lose anything if you were accessing it through your own instance.

If it’s just going to be a server, you can’t got wrong with vanilla Debian. But why is it difficult to setup docker on mint I don’t get it

Why torture yourself with Virtualbox? Just host with docker.

Sure that works, I just don’t see what benefit you have in using dbzer0 instead of a pastebin with this approach (or hell, just giving them the direct link in matrix)

So you’d have a bunch of encrypted strings here but no information of what they are? I mean that’s fine but I think it wouldn’t work very optimally for you. Because if someone requested the link on matrix, why not directly give them the link in matrix in the first place?

Ye, basically always keep in mind how much risk it creates. Anything you would do that make us look like an indexer, makes us a target. So the more layers between us and the infringing content we have, the safer.

That’s fine. I hope you can all enjoy the threadiverse! Just remember that this is an anarchist-run server, so ensure that your members take heed of our code of conduct.

The problem is, if you were to do this, it would defacto makes us a piracy indexer, as the names of the releases the the relevant link to get them would be on our website. This could cause the copyright cartel to go after us and we can’t defend against that. If you could arrange to have the index externally (for example, on a rentry.co entry) and then when someone requests a link, you point them to that to ctrl+f, it could work.

You’re of course welcome here. It’s just a matter of how likely your practices is to lead to us being targeted, you know? If you’re going to share the occasional link encrypted between yourselves, it should be fine. But if you start posting whole directories of links, it might be a problem. However a hybrid option where you have a comm here for discussions and you use things like pastebins to host your link collection should work.

If you give me some idea of how you plan to utilize the comm, I can give some more practical pointers on how to ensure we’re not in danger.

The sporadic encrypted link would be OK, but nothing becoming standardized. If we become known as a link sharing site, we’ll get in trouble.

A link to what?
