answer:

2024-08-18 18:38:36 +00:00
|
|
|
"We don't, but you, as the user, do. You know how sometimes you go to some forums or
|
|
|
|
social sites and someone shares a download link, you'd see someone asking 'is this
|
|
|
|
link safe?' and people would reply with yes/no, etc. People will be doing that same process
|
|
|
|
here, with a bit of help by having a simple reaction system for each link so you'd get a quicker
|
|
|
|
idea on the safety of these links that's being provided by mod creators. Also, mod creators
|
|
|
|
should include a scan link to help with this process."

|
|
|
|
answer:
|
2024-08-18 18:38:36 +00:00
|
|
|
"Because technically you aren't creating an 'account', you're generating/creating/obtaining
|
|
|
|
an address/key-pair. Check the next question/answer to get more details."

question: "You 'can't' remove mods or ban accounts? How does that work?",
|
|
|
|
answer:
|
2024-08-18 18:38:36 +00:00
|
|
|
"I'll try my best to simplify the technicalities of this answer. Because of the nature of Nostr,
|
|
|
|
the 'account' creation process involves the generation of two cryptographic key pairs, one
|
|
|
|
private (think of that as your password that you cannot change), and one public (think of that as
|
|
|
|
your username that you cannot change). These keypairs are coming from the Nostr protocol itself,
|
|
|
|
and nobody controls Nostr, it's just there. Considering that, we can't 'ban' anyone directly.
|
|
|
|
We might have a mute-list with a public address that won't show their posts/submissions on this
|
|
|
|
site, but they are still there and accessible by anyone. It's the same with someone's posts,
|
|
|
|
we can't touch those as well. Gist: If someone put a gun to our heads, will we be able to
|
|
|
|
censor or ban anyone? No, because we can't."

|
|
|
|
answer:
|
2024-08-18 18:38:36 +00:00
|
|
|
"Directly removing the content can't be done, and directly 'banning' someone also can't be done.
|
|
|
|
At most, pages/posts and people can be filtered out / hidden from the website, but people can
|

still see the content with a quick copy/paste."

question:

'Why did you have to add Bitcoin? Why not traditional payment methods like Visa, PayPal, etc?',
|
|

|
answer:
|
2024-08-18 18:38:36 +00:00
|
|
|
"For various reasons. With traditional payment methods, not everyone has access to them, they
|
|
|
|
can pressure/threaten us or mod creators, or even gamers, to censor or ban, or not use this site
|
|
|
|
by holding our funds or steal them. They can prevent you from tipping on this site or
|
|
|
|
specific mod creators, and there's no privacy. These are just a few reasons why we aren't using
|
|
|
|
traditional payment methods. With Bitcoin, anyone has access to it, nobody controls it so you
|
|
|
|
can't be threatened with/by it, where you can actually own it so and properly control it,
|
|
|
|
and with it you're Pseudonymousity."

Never get your game mods censored, get banned, lose your
|
|
|
|
history, nor lose the connection between creators and fans.
|
|
|
|
Find the game mod you want and download it. Gamers and
|
|
|
|
developers are getting censored and suppressed, and this is
|
|
|
|
an attempt to stop it.

What's the story with DEG Mods?
|
|
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p className='LearnTextPara'>
|
|
|
|
The idea behind DEG Mods was born out of frustration with
|
|
|
|
the widespread censorship and control imposed on game mods
|
|
|
|
across various platforms. Many mod creators faced bans, lost
|
|
|
|
their work, and had their voices silenced by platforms
|
|
|
|
imposing their ideals. DEG Mods aims to change that
|
|
|
|
narrative by being developed on Nostr, a revolutionary new
|
|
|
|
communications protocol.{' '}

Real quick though. What's Nostr?
|
|
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p className='LearnTextPara'>
|
|
|
|
Nostr is a communications protocol that makes it extremely
|
|
|
|
hard for anyone to censor anyone's data, and can never have
|
|
|
|
your "account" get "banned". Nostr ensures that even this
|
|
|
|
site's creators cannot censor mods or ban anyone directly.
|
|
|

|

|
|
<h3 className='LearnTextHeading'>How DEG Mods Works</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p className='LearnTextPara'>
|
|
|
|
Unlike traditional mod hosting platforms, DEG Mods doesn't
|
|
|
|
host any files. Think of it as a browser, presenting game
|
|
|
|
mods published by their creators. Mod creators provide
|
|
|
|
direct download links on their mod pages, allowing gamers to
|
|
|
|
access the mods effortlessly. If a link breaks or gets
|
|
|
|
censored, mod creators can remove that link and add another,
|
|
|
|
and people can rate download links based on if they're
|
|
|
|
working and virus free. A public regulating system.
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
<br />
|
|
|
|
Also, everything is open sourced. Even if the site were to
|
|
|
|
shut down, someone can simply take the same code and run it
|
|
|
|
under a different name, and every mod would still be
|
|
|
|
accessible, along with their links, reactions/ratings, and
|
|
|
|
comments.

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
<h3 className='LearnTextHeading'>Tips / Donations</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p className='LearnTextPara'>
|
|
|
|
DEG Mods supports hassle-free money transfers for modders.
|
|
|
|
Fans can show their appreciation by directly tipping mod
|
|
|
|
creators via Bitcoin through the Lightning Network, an
|
|
|
|
action known as Zapping. Support creators so they can
|
|
|
|
continue making more valuable game mods!

We know. You don't have to use it. Nothing is reliant on it

on this platform/site. Pretend its not even there. We're not

even making any money out of this project/site, in-fact,
|
|
|

we're running at a loss (unless direct donations/tips covers

it, and/or we managed to add reasonable monetization systems

to help cover further development and maintenance costs).

|
|
|
This is just a passion project to help free (liberate)

2024-07-11 15:09:47 +00:00

|
|
game mods and their creators, and this part potentially
|
|
|
|
helps them financially, even those in other countries where
|
|
|
|
"normal" methods of money payment/transfer are not an
|
|
|
|
option. You can just find the mod you want and download it,
|
|
|
|
or upload the mod you've created, and never even touch
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin.

DEG Mods is a response to censorship and oppression, to
|
|
|
|
bring freedom and not hinder people's desires and
|
|
|
|
creativity. If you know a mod creator that's being censored,
|
|
|
|
then show them the way. Gamers just want to game in peace...

DEG Mods is an open-source game mods browser (you can stop

right here if you want) of what's uploaded on servers owned
