I’ve been on 1337x, ABC, torrentquest, eztvx, msearch, and pretty much all of the other sites on the megathread, both for “greatest treasures” (the general purpose section) and the movies & TV section specifically. Yet, the show that my wife and I want to watch is nowhere to be found in any of these. We’re confused why, as it’s not exactly an unpopular show.
Despite it not seeming to exist in a torrent format anywhere, among many other shows, it is forbidden both here and elsewhere to ask for help on finding a specific title. I was just hoping to learn the reasoning why. Is it just because the forum would be flooded with people asking for titles instead of taking the time to dig through the resources? What are people supposed to do when they do dig through the resources then?
Is the Piracy room on Matrix an acceptable place to ask for that kind of stuff? I mean it is End-to-End Encrypted. Even if it isn’t allowed there you could always ask someone else via DM on Matrix, is why I highly recommend people make and link their matrix accounts to their Lemmy profiles. You do have to know who to ask of course but these types of vague posts are great for that.
Note: Can’t use Lemmy’s built-in DMs you need to use Matrix or some other E2EE service, especially if they’re going to share direct links to you. Don’t use a corporate one like Facebook messenger or Whatsapp which is advertised as E2EE, those are a scam and they break their own encryption.
Huh, could’ve sworn when I joined it the first time it was encrypted since it said I can’t see the history of encrptypted messages and I got “can’t decrypt message” errors a few times on my Android client.
It doesn’t makes sense to encrypt a room that anybody can join…
Sure it does, it makes it so newcomers can’t view the chat history, it makes less sense to encrypt a room anyone can join but it doesn’t make no sense at all.
There’s no proof of them actually breaking their own encryption.
Further, if that piracy room on matrix is public, it obviously doesn’t matter that the communication on it is private. It’s still a public place.
Lol, lots of downs with no comments indicating why I’m supposedly wrong about either claim. Amazing what weak bottom feeders some people are.
the matrix room may be public, but when you choose someone to talk to via dm, at that point encryption matters. Of course, you shouldnt really trust that random person from the matrix room, but it being an encrypted chat reduces the risk somewhat.
