I have seen people claim that there are infected copies all over the internet, not sure if it's true but please be careful and make sure to use something like Virustotal and Malwarebytes if you aren't sure!
I have seen someone claim that the Bitcoin address leads to the admins too, is that true or just made up bs? Ether way it doesn't seem like they had any intention to get rid of that guy so I would be very careful next time you download something from there!
Please don't, they have DMCA issues for ages because people try that but they are legally required to take that content down if they receive a request!
If it's blocked in your country you probably don't use a CDN without cencorship, I use Cloudflares 1.1.1.1 but Googles 8.8.8.8 should do the job too! ;)
Honestly, just use whatever works for you, I think it's a good idea to have a discussion about the amount so a few more people who pay for the client maybe also donate a little towards their home instance but I don't care about Sync anymore and I am sick of it! Can we please get some kind of word filters to block stuff?
Oof, Mastodon is proof that the Fediverse can come up with good moderation tools but it kind of took Gab to do so, let's hope it won't be that way with Lemmy!
Damn, no clue how to solve that one but please just don't flash a ROM till you are certain it is for your phone because it could brick! :/
