  • Read the thread in full, it's much worse than The Verge makes it out to be - that was actually one of my contentions with this article when posting.

  • I don't think this take is accurate at all. Her actions in that thread appear (to me) entirely as a result of her environment, and honestly there is no basis for the idea she is not of sound mind. The victim blaming is really offputting.

    If they're true, it's more than likely this kind of abuse was happening throughout the organization and continued up until these allegations, so I'm glad she came out with them.

    Madison's experience with LTT

  • If everyone was spread out onto different instances, and communities were based all over the fediverse, the decisions of one instance would be less impactful.

  • Fortunately, they don't need to! There are dozens of small open instances, and joining any of them helps the current centralization situation.

  • It never is by default. In fact, they got in a bit of a fiasco early on (before their current E2EE implementation) for using the term "end to end encrypted" after it was revealed they were simply referring to TLS.

  • Maybe, it's definitely a possibility. What's weird is the original uploader (https://1337x.to/user/VitaminX/) remains unaffected and users were reporting this up to 3 days before it was taken down with very compelling evidence - the miner was barely hidden and only when it blew up on Reddit was any action taken.

  • ATTENTION: 1337X IS NO LONGER SAFE [Reposted from Reddit]

    Jump

  • Absolutely. It took a bit of digging, but I found an archive with some of the comments: https://web.archive.org/web/20230805153327/https://www.1337x.to/torrent/5753101/Baldurs-Gate-3-GOG-Digital-Deluxe-Edition-Multi13-Baldur-s/

    It only goes up to yesterday, so some of the recent comments (especially from mods) are missing - but this should provide sufficient evidence. Mods' combative and defensive comments from today were widely viewed (just look at Reddit), their authenticity is not under question. That being said, comments from Ex0duS5150 are present, proving mods were aware of the listing early on.

    User comments provide proof that malware was uploaded (and 1337x mods themselves admitted it was malware in the Reddit response), yet VitaminX remains unaffected on the site: https://1337x.to/user/VitaminX/

  • Also, to be clear, there is no evidence one way or the other that 1337x mods took a share of the money - not what anyone here really cares about anyways. What's being put under scrutiny is the fact that they defended a listing which was clearly malware only until it gained attention on Reddit and similar.

  • You replied to this comment:

    I think there’s been comments calling out the malware that have been deleted, possibly by the admins. In addition the infected torrentes stayed up for a long while (not sure if they still are or not)

    ... with this reply:

    Haven’t seen any evidence of either of those things though…

    Can you see how I would misunderstand what you were talking about here?

  • ATTENTION: 1337X IS NO LONGER SAFE [Reposted from Reddit]

    Jump

  • They admit the listing existed in that statement, and there are easily accessible records of 1337x mods defending the listing prior to its deletion (such as the comment I had also provided in my post). You may need to re-read it?

    I can provide additional sources if necessary.
