Let's say, hypothetically, you thought Plex/emby share were fantastic, and you wanted to let people know a discord link to a couple, but you were concerned about unsavory characters trying to horn in

...on the good things and ruin it for everyone. How would one go about letting people know, in a responsible manner.
Hypothetically.
Speaking of ruining it for everyone... Paid Plex shares do exactly that for those of us using Plex for friends and family.
I am genuinely confused and do not understand what a paid plex share is and how it ruins things for everyone. Would you be able to elaborate? I'm a jellyfin user and haven't really messed too much with Plex. I'm curious if allowing screening of your personal collection to strangers on the internet is considered piracy?
A paid plex share is a plex server that someone is running + selling access too.
This is against plex' terms, gets plex accounts banned; and in some cases, Plex (co) has taken rather drastic action by blocking entire VPS providers from reaching plex.tv; thus plex server software no longer functions on those VPS's at all.
Naturally, people selling shares want to maximize profit, so they use VPS providers on the cheaper end; resulting in cheaper VPS solutions being blocked for everyone.
That does suck. I'm sorry.
Yes let's do illegal shit on discord. Great idea
Wait, there's illegal shit on Discord?
This sub is very anti paid-piracy. There’s a plexshares i believe but not very active. Lemmy is the perfect place to post these kinds of things.
I don't think anyone is against paying to watch a decent quality sports stream without popups and any additional ads. I won't give the nfl $100/mo but I'll pay $50/yr for some pirated setup
Sorry, of course you're right
I guess I'd ask where the jellyfin shares are at?
I run my own and I'd love to share it with more people
do pm me a link if you can
Yes pls. Would love to try Plex share, always have trouble setting it up. Feel free to DM me.
To answer your question, its hard to read online people, I guess go through their history comments / posts and select a few and DM. 🤷
Me too. There's always one check box with red warnings that I just don't know how to solve
Lemmy seems like a decent place for this. Small audience, mostly rational folks and easy enough to block hexbear / Lemmygrad creeps.
Dm me if u want one
