MOSTLY kidding. We have spun up our own cytube server so we are no longer beholden to the weirdo CHUD dev that owns cytu.be.
Join us at our (probably permanent unless something bad happens) new website: https://live.hexbear.net/
Movies will now be hosted here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies
and music here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/music
We literally spun this up in about 2 days so if there are any issues you run in to please create a thread on /c/feedback or reach out!
Note: You will need to create a new account for this. Neither your cytube login info or Hexbear login info will work for the new site!
Neat! But also I like the idea of a CHUD taking all of the legal risk for lefties watching movies and listening to music. Is there any risk y'all are taking on? I want to make sure my comrades are safe.
I think it just plays videos hosted elsewhere at the same time for everypony, so the actual hosts would be the ones liable (that said, I don't have a law degree and I failed my compsci one)
Oh that's a relief!
All of our spicy content is hosted off site and I'm not really affiliated with the site itself besides modding some comms and being in communication with the admin team so I don't really think Hexbear itself could get in any trouble.
Also our servers are hosted in [redacted] where all crime is legal.
Cytube is just a shell to watch off-site content together, nothing about it should be risky.
Music all comes from Youtube legally. Movies are a bit more sus but really all that will happen there is the mediafire account getting banned if it gets caught, there's no legal liability.
ty!
