Every homepage for a BitTorrent client shows using it to download a Linux .iso (GPL) or the short film Big Buck Bunny (Creative Commons).

Maybe make the examples in your guide legal but the steps can be the same as for illegal, e.g. “Here’s how you can use The Pirate Bay & QBittorrent to find & download Big.Buck.Bunny.1080p.mp4”.

Then, when they follow the steps in your guide, they can change Big Buck Bunny to whatever they want to download.

Started with Lemmy & Pixelfed earlier this year.

Now:

• 60% Mastodon (largely watch parties like #KungFuSat, #Monsterdon etc)
• 35% Piefed (threadiverse like Lemmy)
• 5% NeoDB (media logging & collections like Letterboxd, Goodreads etc)

I don’t use Pixelfed any more cuz images only doesn’t really interest me.

I have a PeerTube account but don’t browse much and have only uploaded a handful of files. Might do more in future.

I tried Hubzilla, but soon got locked out of my account (password error?). Haven’t bothered trying to reactivate yet, but might.

I have a Sharkey account, mainly to try something “Mastodon-like” but with more functionality (longer posts, markup, etc). But my timeline is too dominated by a handful of users, and it’s no good for watch parties, so I barely use it.

I got an account on Gush (media logging/blogging?) thinking it was like NeoDB, but now I think you’re literally supposed to gush 😁 about some media / game with a long review, whereas I mainly want tracking, lists, ratings.

I’ve done a couple of pages on Ibis (wiki from Lemmy developers), but until it becomes more developed & widespread, I’m contributing to joinfediverse.wiki.

I’m considering trying out Mbin, to unify my threadiverse & blogging universes and some other features.

And for a full-on fork (as opposed to mod) of Firefox, there’s also Pale Moon, which forked away from Firefox years ago. (I have it as a backup.)

I used Floorp (Firefox mod) and Firedragon (formerly based on Librewolf, now on Floorp), don’t know if they are cutting out the AI cruft. They have other privacy features, mainly their choice of default settings.

I’m currently using Zen (Firefox mod), which made a statement:

We noticed a rising interest regarding the use of AI in browsers. To be clear about our position on this: Zen currently is disabling all AI features included in Firefox and will continue to do so.

I linked to a podcast using pod.link (which offers links on many podcast services) but somebody added it to NeoDB, making all episodes available there 😀

@[email protected] or anyone who might know:

Can Wafrn be used for watch parties / live posting? (I.e. people read & post with a specific hashtag in real time.)

I do that with Mastodon (e.g. #Monsterdon ) but so far others I’ve tried (e.g. Sharkey) can’t do it.

OK, thanks, I’ll ask him.

Not defining key terms like “we” defeats the porpoise of the question.

Good to hear it might be useful 😀

• I second what @[email protected] suggests
• I knew of Pixabay for images, cool you found they also do music
• Another source: maybe Jamendo? Here’s their page on licensing. I believe those subscription plans support use with fewer limitations & additional features/services, but I think you can start building a library of tracks for free (but I am not an expert)

I can find it on Droidify, but there’s only a Share button, no install button :(
