since its open source and the backend will be open source in the future (after i rewrite) i can still step away from the project and everything can be taken and hosted by a different person

nah no worries i just realised i might have come off as hostile lmao 😁 ty for the support

only the frontend is vunerable to takedowns - our backend server is proxied thro a bulletproof hosting provider (our sponsor snowcore) masking the ip of the storage server thus making it not vunerable to takedowns

decentralisation isnt the only way to be immune to takedowns theres many more but i get your point

btw the frontend is all open source - the backend will be open source in a month or two after the reqwrite

thanks for the heads up about the bug ill fix it asap content is still being torrented and another 1mill books will be added to the collection in a few days so for larger files like these it may be in that collection

i didnt kno this would cause so much backlash 😭 we only set it as russian federation as jokes i can change it to north korea if you want it doesnt mean the project is from there

also anyone can register .ru domains, i got mine from cheapprivacy.ru where i paid in crypto - an .ru domain along with .su and .to are one of the best domains for piracy since they are very lax and ignore most takedown requests

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

no having a .ru domain is just precaution for takedown requests - ive been in the piracy game for quite a while and the tld's that are normally immune to takedown requests are .su .ru .to and .li I didnt know having a .ru domain would be this controversial and the github is only set to russian federation because of the .ru domain we have - if you check all the devs the times they are awake would all me western times

the twitter was made by someone else on my team and isnt even used anymore

we arent monetizing the site - we still need a way to fund the project and snowcore have kindly agreed to give use a bulletproof server that we use for caching and proxying between our storage server

all money ever donated or gained is invested back into the project - we arent making anything

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

i can assure you this isnt a fed op lmao. idk how i can convince you maybe check out the github and check out the devs? some devs are from other big projects like movie-web ect that got taken down.

plus downloads arent hidden behind registration, and we are addnig accounts in the future but its going to be mullvad style - a 12 digit unique identifier so privacy wise theres nothing tying you to the downloads except your ip, which we also dont save so you are fine
