EDIT: I ADMIT I DIDN'T THINK THROUGH WHEN I SUGGESTED FOR THE SERVER TO BE CREATED ON DISCORD, SO I SWITCHED IT TO A MORE PRIVACY ORIENTED PLATFORM.

I am willing to fill this server with people to share files back and forth about interesting things we enjoy. I thought about a rule in which every .torrent file link must be encrypted in B64 before being sent. If there is an alternative to Session which you recommend, don't hesitate to suggest it. Peace!

Nice try FBI.

In all seriousness, matrix encrypted chat would be better.

That's exactly what I'm worried about LOL

General warning: Discord is a walled garden and also collects your data.

(And it's generally considered rude to join some forum just to advertise for a different one. Especially if it doesn't align with the core values.)

Discord not a forum though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I meant 'online discussion platform'. (Or 'internet communications platform' if you like.) But I fail to see the big difference here, considering what we're talking about.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

no difference really

i just annoyed people keep calling discord forum

Session.
Wire.

I would like to add you on Matrix to create the group, but how can you send the ID privately?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

B64 isn't encryption.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

In that case, what do you suggest "hiding" the file links with?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

As mentioned in the other comments, actually encrypted chat.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I edited the text and the information but coudn't remove the previous link for some reason.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Okay, now who the hell is downvoting. And more importantly, why?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Now that it was mentioned, I believe it is because of the rules of Discord, which I can definitely understand. If you have a Session account, could I please add you to create the group?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I think mainly because Discord doesn't align with the values of Lemmy users at all. I guess most of them are here because they don't like those kinds of platforms, otherwise they'd be on Reddit or someplace else, not here. And additionally it seems your only post/contribution here is advertising for a competing group/community. That's self-promoting, advertising for a place that trades pirated content and probably in violation of Rule 2 of this community.
