If you’re afraid of websites hosted in Russia, I have bad news for you regarding piracy.
Russia is one of the key destinations for piracy because of lenient laws and even more lenient police practice regarding it.
i didnt kno this would cause so much backlash 😭 we only set it as russian federation as jokes i can change it to north korea if you want it doesnt mean the project is from there
also anyone can register .ru domains, i got mine from cheapprivacy.ru where i paid in crypto - an .ru domain along with .su and .to are one of the best domains for piracy since they are very lax and ignore most takedown requests
They can ignore US copyright laws there.
And why a Twitter account?
the twitter was made by someone else on my team and isnt even used anymore
Fair enough.
Not familiar with this. Does it mean that it’s Russian operated?
no having a .ru domain is just precaution for takedown requests - ive been in the piracy game for quite a while and the tld's that are normally immune to takedown requests are .su .ru .to and .li I didnt know having a .ru domain would be this controversial and the github is only set to russian federation because of the .ru domain we have - if you check all the devs the times they are awake would all me western times
