To sum up for anyone finding this later:

Running your own jellyfin server is best and free. Check out the servarr community to get started. Will take a bit of setting up but if you can figure out Lemmy, you can figure this out. I’d personally recommend some kind of Usenet subscription with this but some might prefer to use torrents.

You can do what I do and get an app share where someone else runs the server, downloads everything for you etc and you pay to use their service.

Stremio / Syncler paired with a paid real-debrid account seems like a good solution but you can use torrents if you don’t want to pay anything. This is seriously good and cheaper than an app share. I’m getting rid of my backup app share and using this in its place.

Thanks all!

Amazing thanks for the help I’ll try them later on

Ah that makes sense, shouldn’t be too much hassle to get them in there then if I can find a good source of torrents. What’s the go to place for those?

Thanks so much

Nice, I had a play with this earlier and it seems to work well if you know what you want to watch. Did see a few ‘no results found’ for some obscure shows

Nice so after I posted I went and started setting this up. What provider(s) are you using? I’m using Syncler+ and RD with a Jake something provider. Have seen quite a few ‘no results’ except for newer things and it’s a lot slower than stremio to find links but it does look way nicer.

That’s similar to what I ran before although it was Emby and Usenet (sabnzbd) as I didn’t have access to any decent trackers for torrenting. Was fine just for me but I need to provide more of a Netflix experience for my non tech savvy household and the storage cost would make it painful

Err “we” as inhabitants of the earth and users of the internet I guess. Even if you don’t personally use social media, you are aware that plenty of others do and it has had a very significant impact on many individuals and societies around the world right?

Well… we’re talking about some manga drawings which might just look like Funko pops with breasts to some but you decided to instead say that we’re irrefutably talking about ‘pictures of naked kids’, a massive oversimplification which makes your argument look stronger.

‘if you do then more power to ya bud’ to make it sound like I enjoy that content despite the fact that I’ve already said that it does nothing for me. A misrepresentation of my position.

That’s what makes it a straw man argument in my opinion.

Anyway thanks for the debate, I haven’t followed on with what happened in the rest of the thread and really regret engaging with it in the first place. Sorry if I offended you, it’s hard to get points across via text sometimes and I probably came off a bit strong.

None of this really affects me as I don’t use Lemmy for NSFW content, I like the platform though and don’t want to believe that it would be used for underage content so I guess we pretty much agree where it counts but came at it from different angles.

Peace and love

This seems like a sensible take on the subject.

Tbf I think I’d like it more if we had online shopping, cell phones, instant messaging etc but we didn’t have social media as we know it today. Like we stuck with phpbb, Usenet and IRC and didn’t move much more beyond that into Myspace and Facebook

Maybe? But the dinner should definitely only consist of phallic foods. All the sausages (bonus points for those big Chorizo that curl up), aubergine, cucumber etc churros for dessert. Really sets the tone.

Ask them to dinner and explain you usually like to enjoy a hot meal with someone before you see them naked. Classy AF.

Ah so it isn’t so much that you don’t want to associate with it, it’s more that you got banned so can’t.

Did you say that you thought it was a ‘bad move’ or did you go all guns blazing and start shouting about child porn?

Nice straw man. Hope you can find the actual IRL underage content you’re looking for rather than just drawings. See how that works?

In that case a simple ‘What are the best NSFW instances?’ would have sufficed perhaps with a line stating that you don’t enjoy hentai / loli. You cared about the nuance when you called it child porn despite knowing the actual genre is ‘loli’.

Big difference between something not being your cup of tea and full blown child porn accusations. I might not enjoy someone sending me an eggplant emoji but I wouldn’t call the police and say I’ve just been harassed by a drawn picture of a purple cock.

Hope you find an instance to your tastes and I hope you can get your questions answered in future without feeling the need to incite a mob.

I don’t think everyone would think of that as ‘drawn child porn’. Plenty of live action ‘school girl’ stuff out there and that usually gets a pass. Pretty much every amateur video is implied to be incestuous now, are they promoting having sex with school kids and incest?

Terms like ‘barely legal’ and ‘young teen’ are used all the time, do you think there aren’t people out there imagining those girls being younger than 18? If some Loli drawings are where you draw the line then it seems like an odd place to do so. Does nothing for me personally, I prefer drawings of young boys misbehaving, swearing and defecating /s (South Park).

Yeah I managed to get Creatures 3 and Docking Station working fairly recently and really enjoyed my time with them. I was obsessed as a kid.

Yep!

Nope. Great game though
