  • What’s being proposed is that the extension would modify the page to add a Lemmy frame for commenting. This frame is autonomous in the sense the user must provide his Lemmy login information for it to work, which is different from Google login information. Google is not even aware the page is being modified by an external comment section, and even if it could detect it, it wouldn’t be able to track individual users.






  • I used a seedbox some time ago to download a specific big torrent (at the time). I payed using Paypal, as I don’t consider seedboxes a low-hanging-fruit for rightsholders to persecute at the moment.

    There’s too much redundant data on these services, so if they takedown one user’s data, there’s still lots of the same torrented data on other user’s. I don’t think rightsholders are willing to play wack-a-mole for such infractions.

    They’d rather invest their resources on more centralized file sharing, such as big public torrent sites and cyberlockers.













  • I’m sorry but I don’t remember typing this LostRedditors stuff. I’m just as confused as you are. (some mod edited my comment?)

    And it was never my intention being combative about the NewPipe competitors. I just think Vanced and ReVanced are in a completely different category of apps. As they potentially may step on some DMCA rule, they’re far more vulnerable of being taken out by Google. And most hobbyst devs just abandon their projects at the first sign of a DMCA or Cease and Desist.
