In the rare case where you are actually not a troll, let me put it simply.

Your previous post was blocked for the behaviors of certain individuals in the comments, including you and the topic itself which was as good as spouting: “Why not use Google drive for sharing media? It’s free and there is way less hassle than what all of you have been doing for decades. I am right you are wrong.” .

Is it possible that plenty of people are wrong and have been doing things wrong for a long time? Yes, it is possible. In this case, bring good arguments, show proof, and debate. Do not bring baseless beliefs into an argument and say you are right about it.

Dunno about locking, but please don’t use Riseup for torrents, unless you support them heavilly. Its an activist resource.

Yeah, and torrenting is an activist solution.

That’s not the intended use, and you know it.

From the first sentence:

Riseup offers Personal VPN service for censorship circumvention, location anonymization and traffic encryption.

Emphasis mine. Notice how there’s an “and” in there, not an “or.”

You can redefine piracy to mean “activism” all you want, but abusing philanthropy with the explicit intent to prevent censorship is anti-activism.

Sure, if you’re torrenting government censored media to distribute to others living under an oppressive regime.
Are you torrenting government censored media to distribute to others living under an oppressive regime?

It can be, but there are so much more important forms of activism that I’m pretty sure the people behind RiseUp most likely don’t want their bandwidth taken up by torrents.
