I liked your points, I updated the link structure. :)

I ran a social media site years ago, had a few instances of CP where we personally notified law enforcement. It was taken care of, we got in absolutely no trouble. But it's worrying how inefficient the whole process is. Or at least was back then.

I've added a report functionality. It's not the perfect solution, that's for certain. But it's something while I figure out better ones :)

Thanks for the feedback! I've removed google analytics in favour of minimalistic in-house (public!) analytics

I made an initial version, let me know if you find it useful! Docs at dum.pt/dev or just curl https://dum.pt :)

Neat! I like your solution, much better for simple text sharing.

Thank you!

Hopefully longer than the other ones, but who knows. Time will tell :)

This was in all honesty a very self-serving project! Fun to build, something I wanted and that's that. Fingers crossed it's smooth sailing and it doesn't end up in the graveyard like all the other :')

I considered it, but I (naively) thought that the 24 hour maximum retention policy would take care of most abuse. As others in the comments have pointed out, it won't! So I will be taking more steps towards abuse prevention :)

Thanks for the heads up! I update the title to show the appropriate tag. I'm familiar with the term pastebin, but this is not limited to just text and I do feel like pastebin.com has taken ownership of the term so I wanted to avoid confusion.

I've been giving this some thought... While I definitely agree with you, adding the extra route seems more "future-proof". And it's not like the urls are rememberable anyway... But it might be worth just making the whole link much much shorter over all. I'll think about this!

Thanks for flagging this! I will definitely be doing a deep dive into all this this weekend

Appreciate the comment, feels great

wow thank you so much for the tips! I had mostly just worried about piracy and thought that the maximum 24 hour retention policy would be "good enough". Naively, I had not thought of things I'd want to nip right in the bud (Like CP). So I will definitely be looking into the solutions you've mentioned. Thanks again!

It wasn't a usecase I thought of, so it's not really accommodated for it, but I like it! I'll try make a nice little "for devs" page with simple endpoints :)

A few months ago, tiktok stopped letting people watch videos on their phone without getting the app (or using a few sneaky tricks).

I made a simple website to share them with those friends and family members who refuse to download it.

You can paste your URL into the homepage to generate a link, or simply add “off” before “tiktok” in any post's URL so you can share it with them. (So like this https://vm.offtiktok.com/ZGeWxS6n9/ )

At Efimero, we believe it's essential that we begin to reduce our online social impact and footprint, and that's what Efimero aims to do, by bringing social back to the bare minimum by stripping 3 core components:

- Identity. Everything you share doesn't need to wear your name (or your face!), get your thoughts out of your mind, without the anxiety that comes from sharing online today.

- Perpetuity. Just as your content doesn't always need to represent you, it also doesn't have to last forever. Content on Efimero can only be viewed by people who were online when it was created. If you missed it, it's gone.

- Virality. There's no algorithm, no recommendations, mixed with the lack of identity or perpetuity; there is absolutely no virality within Efimero. We've seen the impact social media can have on our world, from the mundane to the extremely important. This is why I believe a healthy online social environment should reduce its global and individual impact to a bare minimum, making it nothing more than a communication and entertainment tool.

To wrap it up, Efimero aims to create a social platform that promotes an honest, selfless, and open conversation, where nothing really lasts or matters.
