      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

        Looks cool. I will take a look when the backend is open sourced for sure. Prep for some tough times legally if you continue to use those centralized social platforms.

        Probably because you use a lot of proprietary platforms like discord, reddit, github, twitter and you have apparently very bad opsec. If someone would do something illegal, they wouldnt be so careless about it. Thats the assumption probabyl

          our whole model is to be easily self hostable and open source - just like movie-web (who had devs openly showing their names and faces ect in their github profiles) as for my bad opsec im just a hobbyist developer who is contributing to an open source project for fun - nothing else can be proven

        I think they means it’s a federal operation, a honey pot for a government to crack down on piracy.

        In the piracy world, “fed” is short for Federal Bureau of Investigation police officer.
