Imo the “best” way would be to use different popular services/platforms. Some commonly used ones would be:

• Open Collective
• Liberapay
• Ko-fi
• Patreon

Maybe cryptocurrency can be added to that list as well, Trocador would probably help with that but this requires some amount of technical knowledge depending on how you use/implement it.

Why even bother commenting this if you’re not willing to elaborate?

It would be helpful if you were more specific about the feed categories you’re looking for (e.g: specific hobbies, technology, …). Or is this supposed to be a generic question?

As I mentioned in my other comment, there are two founders, one of which does not like the action of the other.

I’m not necessarily looking for a new discussion, I just thought it was important to clarify since it reads differently when you have more context.

I doubt those that are unaware would look much deeper into it.

It was the co-founder, Daniel, that made the donation, the other founder, Fredrik, “did not like that he made this donation”.

Edit: I’ll include a link to Mullvad’s official response to the controversy since it’s relevant.

I’m not defending Mullvad, but this does lack more context.

torrent-tube is relevant, you’d still need someone else to download the video and upload the torrent unfortunately.

I could be wrong but I don’t believe the art is generated and I’d say I’m pretty good at spotting that type of content.

What AI generated images are you talking about?

No Boilerplate, Reject Convenience and Veronica Explains.

Unfortunately I don’t think I have any advice I can give to discover PeerTube creators other than just browsing on PeerTube instances.

But what I can recommend doing is reaching out to your favourite YouTube creators and ask if they can mirror their videos to PeerTube. Obviously they aren’t guaranteed to do so, but the more people ask, the more likely it becomes they’ll eventually do it or at least consider it.

You can use accessibility and redundancy (backup of their content) as reasoning.

Then my advice would be to use a different theme if it isn’t too much work. Something that doesn’t look vibe coded so people don’t get the wrong impression.

I can say with somewhat high confidence that the website (design) is vibe coded, or at the very least AI assisted. I wouldn’t be surprised if the same goes for the article.

I see, is there a reason why you don’t just link to the GitHub repository (or better yet, use Codeberg)? Seems a bit strange to have the logo there when it goes to a different domain. This project looks like it could be useful.

Edit: I found the contribute pages, I’m assuming you did it this way for those that wish to stay anonymous (e.g: Tor visitors).

Is this a repost? I’m sure I saw a post like this already a few days ago.

How would you even verify “did this project use an LLM”?

There are different ways, checking if a CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or SKILLS.md file is present is often enough. Obviously this isn’t bullet proof but it’s better than no disclosure in my opinion.

disclosure tag doesn’t change whether the code is accurate, safe or good.

I didn’t say it has to be a tag, what I had in mind was a simple disclosure in the post description explaining how you used AI for the project (or just a simple “this project is AI assisted” if you dont know the extent, e.g: projects that aren’t yours).

I don’t necessarily have an issue with experienced developers using AI to write the code for them which is what I mean with “when not used correctly”. I do take issue with inexperienced developers that create privacy related software without proper knowledge of what their code actually does (AKA vibe-coding) and going around promoting it as “privacy-friendly” and “secure” while that may not be the case.

Maybe there are better ways to go about this though, which is partly why I created this post.

I don’t see how that relates to my question. 🤔 I’m asking because you say it’s “open source and community-maintained” on the landing page.

What about the source code? I couldn’t find it on GitHub.

I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you, but I personally think it should be disclosed somewhere when AI/LLMs are used and optionally to what extent.

Did you build this with AI/LLMs? Also, where can I find the source code?
