Imgur purge is actively happening. Safe to say we will be in that era soon enough, give or take 2 years optimistically. Being pessimistic, 1 year. To bring even more depression, during this year, in realtime right now, content is being purged at a rate where you will be lucky if you manage to salvage all that you need to.
We are in the most turbulent era of internet that we might ever see, before the AI age dawns upon us. Grab a couple 4 TB Seagate HDDs and save anything you need to. Movies, documentaries, songs, obscure YouTube videos, photo galleries, game ROMs, webpages, documents… anything. Ham that internet connection with whatever freerange VPN you can.
I agree fully, but I want to add that I would not suggest a freerange VPN.
Nothing is free on a free VPN - you pay with your data.
It’s always a question of trust using any type of VPN, but a free VPN is 100% going to sell collected information to … whom ever.
Anything else. Yes. Save everything, leech everything. I hate streaming music… it makes no sense to me. A movie I watch once … mh. maybe. Anything else. Load it. Save it. Hoard it.
ProtonVPN is an open source VPN with a free plan (medium speed and limited countries and a few settings). What do you think about that? Is that good enough for privacy?
Good call.
I did not think of them.
I guess their business model would be sustainable enough to provide this within limitation for free.
I’m using their (paid) email service since they are the only ones to my knowledge not using AWS storage. (Also one of the reasons behind their quite high prices compared to others)
Being able to archive is the most important factor. My point is to hurry up and, if needed, deprioritise other things in life. This time, and internet in its current state, is never coming back. This is not a paranoid doomer brain, this is reality, and we are witnessing it right now in realtime.
Can you clarify the pinned mod’s question, and the questions related to porn hoarding in other comment? Also, visual UI element bloat is making many people unhappy.
I’m confused. Help me out lemmy users/runners.
It says “No Porn” on the homepage. But during sign up there’s a tickbox to “Show NSFW content” ?
So…only non-porn NSFW content is allowed?
Would lemmy.ml consider audio “porn” as porn? Or merely NSFW?
Because if there are communities on reddit that I want to still have access to via RSS and json after the API change, it’d be r/gonewildaudio r/gonewildaudible r/audiosgonewild r/darksideplayground r/PillowTalkaudio r/KinkyPillowTalkAudio r/eroticliterature r/GWASapphic r/gwascriptguild r/GoneWildAudioGay r/sexystories
As this is a FOSS project, I presume only the lemmy.ml instance doesn’t allow porn?
Is there a Q&A style lemmy instance finder that does allow porn a la https://instances.social/ ?
Because https://join-lemmy.org/instances is all I could find and that doesn’t seem helpful.
How do I find the most popular porn supported instance?
Thanks.
This was a message sent to me. The point they were trying make besides this is regarding archival of porn content being considered as NSFW. Also I am seeing massive complaint about Lemmy UI being very visually bloated compared to old.reddit.com, which is putting off many users, reminding them of the new.reddit.com travesty.

Is there a good /r/DataHoarder equivalent on Lemmy somewhere?
Rely on r/datahoarder for now. Data hoarders and pirates are universally an uncompromised group of internet.
You should invite them to create a community here, or we can give them !datahoarder@lemmy.ml .
I am hurrying up as much as I can, and also being a Lemmy watchdog to see the instances popping up and user traffic. I will try getting them onboard.
Sweet, thx.

Ask them to make an account here and ask directly, I don’t like discussing by proxy.
They messaged you, and have got no response, waiting.
Asked. Time to wait.
Archivist is arguably the head of data hoarders that exist on internet today. He has messaged you above in the thread. My job is done.
I was asked this. Please discuss it swiftly.

I’m here.
Great to see you here!
Exciting, hopefully you get the community soon
