only the frontend is vunerable to takedowns - our backend server is proxied thro a bulletproof hosting provider (our sponsor snowcore) masking the ip of the storage server thus making it not vunerable to takedowns

decentralisation isnt the only way to be immune to takedowns theres many more but i get your point

btw the frontend is all open source - the backend will be open source in a month or two after the reqwrite

i didnt kno this would cause so much backlash 😭 we only set it as russian federation as jokes i can change it to north korea if you want it doesnt mean the project is from there

also anyone can register .ru domains, i got mine from cheapprivacy.ru where i paid in crypto - an .ru domain along with .su and .to are one of the best domains for piracy since they are very lax and ignore most takedown requests

no having a .ru domain is just precaution for takedown requests - ive been in the piracy game for quite a while and the tld's that are normally immune to takedown requests are .su .ru .to and .li I didnt know having a .ru domain would be this controversial and the github is only set to russian federation because of the .ru domain we have - if you check all the devs the times they are awake would all me western times

we arent monetizing the site - we still need a way to fund the project and snowcore have kindly agreed to give use a bulletproof server that we use for caching and proxying between our storage server

all money ever donated or gained is invested back into the project - we arent making anything

i meant annoying ad free as in no redirect or popup ads - we still need a way to fund the project since donations are scarce

having a .ru domain is just precaution against takedowns - none of the devs are russian its just the west and russia dont get along so takedown requests for a .ru domain would be ignored by russia

our model is just like the old movie-web, we are open source and if we are DMCA'd then we will take it down but our mirrors will still be up but i understand the opsec point and may move from discord to signal
