Was IPFS considered? I’ve tried it myself but it seems like an unstable product and I’m not sure if it’s living up to its promise…
Sounds like a place for toots 🤔 Signal supports admin only chat rooms. Maybe they’ll be able to support >1k in the future. Dunno if MLS will be able to do that.
What the fuck? I’ve never seen a chatroom that big. Must be absolute chaos…
Or are those “just” distribution channels aka admin only posts?
How big were the telegram chat rooms? Did they ever get that big? The only chatroom I’ve seen with over 1k people is on matrix and it was relatively quiet. If there’s a 1k limit, probably the admin will have to kick inactive users.
I saw a signal group too. I guess this is going to be the aftermath: piracy messenger wars. What do people talk about in piracy chatrooms anyway?
Glowie? Do people call each other glowsticks nowadays?
I don’t believe you want a genuine answer. You’ve already made a decision, so no matter what I say, you won’t agree with it 🤷 There’s no need to continue.
What “ignorance”? The licensing link is added manually. I’ve read it.
Very weird… I’ve had the same clients (Element) for years and haven’t been logged out once. Just out of curiosity, do you switch between the clients (Element on one computer, Schildichat on another)? That could be the problem.
Which client are you using and when was the last time you used it? I haven’t had those issues in about 3 years on Element.
It has a shiny chat interface and that’s all people care about 🤷
On the face of it, I appreciate that it looks funny, but the power dynamics are quite different. If I’m caught pirating, my ass could land in jail. If a company is caught pirating, it’s written off a business expense.
Would you find it as ridiculous if a slave whipped their owner? If the poor stole from the rich? If the weak took power from the powerful?
When will people start using Signal or Matrix for this? Signal supports public, encrypted chat rooms and so does Matrix.

Maybe present what it’s for and why you think it should be used? To me, you just proposed a random tool and just shared a link. Sorry dude, I ain’t reading all that.
Maybe hosting services in France is not a good idea afterall…
Being a node isn’t an issue. The traffic is encrypted, the destinations are unknown to the nodes themselves, and the traffic does not leave the overlay network (I2P). In TOR, you also have something similar, but the traffic can exit the overlay network but to do so, your node must be an exit node. I2P nodes are internal by default and it’s not that easy to make it an exit node.
You are very safe being a node in I2P.
If there are no logs, there is nothing to give up. There is no law that they have to keep logs as far as I know.
You have to trust that the VPN provider doesn’t store logs. I2P is pretty much trustless besides where the binary comes from, but you can even compile it yourself.
That’s probably for a judge to decide if it ever gets to court.
Hey :) Hope you’re doing well!
That is actually a good question. Probably the consumer protection agency would be a place to report it. There must also be non-profit watchdogs, but I can’t think of any besides NOYB (none of your business) who are all about privacy.
Indeed. I’m not sure what the format is and whether a man in the middle or fake service could be run on the device, which pretends to be google’s attestation service and just responds with a “yep, this device is fine” in the correct format. It may be easier than rewriting an entire app and be applicable to other apps as well.
Can someone start a Signal group? That’s encrypted and safe for sure. You can use usernames and have public groups.
I think it’s more a monopoly attempt. I wonder how the EU will react if someone takes this to court.
Forcing one app store fits the bill of monopolistic action.
It’s not the store that’s the problem. The integrity API is a web API. First the app collects data about your phone locally and then it sends it to google asking “is this phone ‘safe’?”. Google then responds with how safe it believes the phone to be and the app itself makes a decision. The alternative app store is completely out of the loop.
It’s maybe difficult to maintain privacy. The destination needs to be known and has to somehow notify other nodes that it’s waiting for messages. I don’t know if that can lead to traffic profiling to along the path (if enough nodes are owned) to deanonimise.
The sender can probably sealed like signal does though.
I imagine it comes with the problem most P2P chats come with: both sender and receiver have to be online at the same time, otherwise the message cannot be delivered.
Although, if people were serious about anonymity, they’d be using such a service (or similar).
Why? You can connect over a VPN or TOR, can sign up with an email, and it can most likely be hosted on a as a hidden service on I2P or TOR.
How is telegram better?
I don’t know of any encrypted P2P chat 🤔
There is anonymous IRC over I2P which isn’t the same but might be good enough?
Maybe there’s even matrix over I2P.
Ah, yep. Indeed. Thanks for pointing that out.
Matrix. It can be self hosted, federated, and has encrypted chat rooms.
Nothing to do with being Chinese. Amazon is going to brick some of their devices that play music in cars IIRC. There are western companies that made pace makers who closed source their communication protocols, went bust, and now the pace makers are in patients who have no way to service them.
Opensourcing after deprecation should be written into law.
Fork it and put it on radicle or I2P. The MAFIAA can go fuck themselves.
Are there any opensource alternatives to these things? Could they save themselves this whole hassle, just get the alternative and cut their budget in half with a yearly donation?
It only mentions /r/piracy and /r/torrents on the page. Nothing about lemmy, so I assumed it was maintained by somebody in one of those subs.
Thanks. Which is the canonical one? rentry.co or the wiki?
Also, is the wiki limited to members of the dbzer0 instance or can anybody sign up? And how is quality maintained?
Privacy dies in thunderous applause. Good job on voting in the conservatives and ludites everybody (or not voting at all)! A+ participation in democracy.

Why do piracy apps still put their source on github? It’s just asking for trouble…
