How do the arrs protect you from untrusted uploaders though? Don’t they just automatically download torrents based on the names and number of seeders?




Gary Bowser is out of jail after being sued by Nintendo and would be an interesting AMA here
The story and work of Gary Bowser is pretty badass and would make for an interesting ama and event on lemmy. Here’s a recent article on Gary Bowser https://torrentfreak.com/gary-bowser-how-a-1980s-hacker-became-nintendos-nemesis-decades-later-230702/

The reason the enshittification of reddit and everything is because at the end of the day bills need to be paid and developers need to take breaks or pass on work to other. Look at how the mobile lemmy app mlem got treated so badly and was too stressed to keep developing it… Servers cost money. Open source software development cost money. Just like Wikipedia i want to support it to ensure it can stay sustainable. Making it easier for people to see the health of the server helps keep it sustainable and alive


Yeah this would be great and much more transparent than how reddit did it


People use third party apps and wont see it in the side bar. Besides having it part of the code will make it easy for each server to easily implement it and it can be automated in the future.


cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/1239521 > Reddit used to have something similar to health bar showing how much "gold" was bought to support the website. but later on out of greed they started using it as a paywall. > > We can have a health bar that doesnt paywall ANY features and very transparently displays funds raised\used for a server. It can be used to display how much funds its being supported, how much server costs are, salaries for open source maintainers, mods, etc. > > >
