you can download entire libgen archive if you are so inclined, there’s even torrents list https://libgen.rs/repository_torrent/
i think that it’s mostly because they don’t want somebody with 0 shared files to download - and i sorta understand that, would be lot cooler if people weren’t leeches only, sure, but i can’t be bothered to check or enforce. if you have something shared and message them they’ll usually allow to download
Preferences -> Searches -> toggle Show privately shared files in search results
you can hide private files in search results, at least in nicotine
i’ve seen this on lw accounts, unless you can pull it out if you own community somehow
i’ve noticed that LW replaces what i assume are some slurs in comments with removed it’s automated, there’s no indication that content was edited, nobody announced that, nothing appears in modlog so it must be done in db directly
that and they also prohibit use of vpns and tor
they also took suspiciously long to defederate exploding heads, compared to some leftist instance that i don’t remember now but that instance wasn’t an issue
admins banned a community, not one but three. this one, piracy at .ml and another one at db0. it’s likely that lw admins defederated from entire instance too
e: i think it happened in the past but now db0 is federated with lw
.se worked last time i’ve checked
sci-hub should have it
rutracker has mnova, 32bit windows version differs by only 2 octets from original iirc so it has to be clean
sometimes paper is also available at researchgate
arxiv has a narrow scope, there’s also biorxiv.org but both are for preprints which is a little bit different thing
sci-hub.se will get you most of papers
libgen.rs will get you most of books
two last images point to the same link
you bet they are, it took them a month to “communicate” and “decide with community” to defed exploding heads, allowing them to grow 3x in the meantime, entire week for rammy site, but hexbear, a much larger instance that wasn’t caught proselytizing outside, got defederated “preemptively”. what the fuck is this bullshit?
they do have pretty strong biases, but i’m guessing they got caught in their own circlejerk that tells them that all of that is normal. just look at any pinned post on .world and go into comments
they have been doing a lot of weird moves lately
no, don’t block. blocking only makes it so that you don’t see that bs behaviour, but it’s still there. instead, report or if you are mod/admin, ban outright. if you want to block anyway, at least report beforehand
there’s 4265 torrents right now with 1000 pdfs per torrent. 120TB ish as of three years ago
