that's a shame. Will you be able to block VPN IP ranges for uploading, but not downloading? If that's practical it'd be nice, because I don't want my friends to ask me why the link isn't loading or whatever when they try to download something I uploaded. I also learned that my VPS' IP is registered under some Lithuanian ISP somewhere, thus soulseek thinking I'm in Lithuania, so I wonder if there are other VPS services that have IPs that don't appear to be VPS/VPN. Even Google, which is usually tismy with VPNs, doesn't stop me from searching with a captcha like it did on torguard.
@burner nothing is blocked from downloading. some people who tried to fetch illegal materials have had their IPs added to a permanent redirect to the FBI website, otherwise it's only blocks from uploading
@burner I will be, yeah. people on TOR are already prevented from it but it looks like I will have to add some more. unfortunately M247, the company that leases hardware to VPNs like Mullvad, etc are also at fault for abuses
@TrevorGoodchild@p@graf That's basically the main reason I haven't bothered hosting my own site and I'm not to keen on being a mod for anyone on this side of the internet.
@ForbiddenDreamer@TrevorGoodchild@p i will protect your speech in that i will pushback against egregious demands for user data based on speech but if you are uploading CSAM to shit I own I will make sure I report absolutely every detail I have about you simple as
@Hoss@p@ForbiddenDreamer@TrevorGoodchild you say that like somebody on here isn't going to screenshot what I just said to tell people I'm running a honeypot and I'll report people for anything
@graf@ForbiddenDreamer@p I've already been put in one 7-day timeout this month so out of the deepest respect for you and what you have built I simply have nothing legal to say about what I would do to someone that uploaded kiddie porn to firmware that I own
@p@graf Dan Olson was one of those Channel Awesome-adjacent liberal sycophants (I think he orbited the Lindsay "Nostalgia Chick" Ellis clique) who once uploaded to 8Chan what he thought was CP he had previously found (and saved) from a board on the site to prove that 8chan was a pedo site.
