  • Centralized social media platforms don’t give you the luxury of picking instances with variable degrees of moderation, so I fail to see how forgoing decentralization would help things; the better alternative is simply picking a good instance to start with.

    Here’s an overview I posted the other day of how to choose an instance. In regards to fedinsfw.app, I would personally recommend against choosing a nsfw-focused instance for one’s main account as that instance is likely to get defederated by instances with stringent rules against such content. Content from that instance can be easily accessed by instances that are expressly open to that content and remain widely federated themselves.







  • Note that Debridio doesn’t work without a Debrid service; it exists merely as a paid alternative to Torrentio for when it’s congested with too many users at once. Doesn’t happen too often thankfully.

    I personally prefer how Torrentio formats results, but unreliability with the service has frustrated family members in the past (the point of using Stremio in the first place being to make torrenting as much like using Netflix as possible for non-techies) and made having an alternative useful, just in case.

    In reconfiguring Torrentio, make sure you uninstall it before reinstalling it, as it doesn’t overwrite it.
