  • Hey if you still need help I am totally open. I am a reddit mod refugee from some small and larger subreddits. I have been sailing the seas since I was probably around 10 and fully stand with the rules/vision of this instance. I also have a software engineering background and can assist on the technical side of needed. Feel free to reach out to me privately should you desire any kind of verification such as my Github or reddit account. I am using a different username/email from other services.







  • I found in the beginning it may be a bit hard simply because it takes some time. What I mean by this is that the initial ratio you start with will allow you to download a small amount of content to begin seeding and earning “gold” from. You basically just have to keep seeding more as you get more room in your ratio to grab more without getting too low. I found that once you rank up and can get VIP from your gold you are pretty set on the site and never have to worry. I got to a point pretty rapidly where I no longer have to worry about my ratio.

    I’d say MAM also helped me get into other private trackers and now I am some of the harder to get into ones like GGN.


  • Yep, I’ve had issues searching for some things on Google before where I could tell Google was adding a political leaning bias, censoring things, or just deranking certain content heavily. So I thought DDG would be a good one to try out with the same searches but I still found it had similar issues. I brought out Yandex and was easily able to find the results I was looking for on the top results.

    Now I am sure Yandex also censors stuff too, but its definitely my go to if I’m trying to find things on certain political topics from views Google disagrees with, or for finding things related to piracy.

    Honestly getting a bit sad how not even something as generic as a search engine can be free from political censorship.
