  • I’ve never heard of anyone getting in trouble unless they’re seeding without a VPN from their home network. I have a seedbox and just keep seeding until my storage fills up, then I run a purge of well-seeded content.

    if there’s something important that I’m missing, please let me know!

    Do note that some private trackers (do you have communities dedicated to trackers here?) require you to access from a residential network. They say they’ll ban you if you use a VPN or tor or whatever:

    1. Some seedboxes give you VPN access for free that uses the same machine and IP that the seedbox is using
    2. It’s usually pretty obvious when looking up IP addresses whether they’re residential or commercial
    3. I’ve never seen anyone banned for VPN use on a private tracker, but I’ve never been social on private trackers (sometimes people get banned for “no reason,” and there’s always a chance this was the reason)


  • I’m curious to hear how a non-corporate NSFW community can thrive safely? You said you don’t have any answers - does anyone else?

    I have the technical knowledge and plenty of money to run a lemmy instance and enough time to dev some moderation tools. But it seems like the issue isn’t technical.

    If somebody brought me a few full-time moderators and a lawyer or two (who I don’t have to pay), I’d happily spin up an instance with terabytes of storage and start developing whatever tools the mods need. If somebody guarantees me I won’t be liable and won’t EVER see CP, I’ll provide the servers, sysadmin, and some dev work.

    Reddit has something special with their unpaid mods - I can’t see it working any other way, but a group of mods like gonewild or something is probably one in 10milion.

    Quick edit: I also want to say that I agree with everything you said :)
