question : "You don't host mod files?" ,
2024-08-18 19:05:06 +00:00

question :
'How do you assure security of game mod files that someone downloads?' ,
2024-08-18 19:05:06 +00:00
answer : ` We don't assure security directly. However, we will provide a reaction
system to help users gauge the safety of download links , and mod creators
are encouraged to include scan links . `

{
question : "Why are you quoting 'account'?" ,
2024-08-18 18:43:37 +00:00
answer : ` We use 'account' in quotes because technically you're generating a
2024-08-18 19:05:06 +00:00
key pair , not creating a traditional account . The next FAQ explains more . `
2024-07-11 15:09:47 +00:00
} ,
{
question : "You 'can't' remove mods or ban accounts? How does that work?" ,
2024-08-18 19:05:06 +00:00
answer : ` 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 / obtaining 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 key pairs 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 public addresses 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 your / the team 's head, will you censor or ban anyone? No, because we can' t . `

question :
"You can't do anything about any mod or person? Nothing at all? What about the illegal stuff?" ,
2024-08-18 18:43:37 +00:00
answer : ` Direct removal or banning is not possible. We can only filter or
2024-08-18 19:05:06 +00:00
hide content on the site , but it remains accessible on here and elsewhere . `

question :
'Why did you have to add Bitcoin? Why not traditional payment methods like Visa, PayPal, etc?' ,
2024-08-18 19:05:06 +00:00
answer : ` For various reasons. With traditional payment methods, not everyone has access to them, they
can pressure or threaten us , mod creators , or even gamers to censor or ban , or restrict usage of this site
by holding our funds or stealing 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 / b y i t ,
you can actually own and properly control it , and it provides pseudonymity . `

question : "Who's developing / maintaining DEG Mods?" ,

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 .

< p className = 'LearnTextPara' >
DEG Mods ( Decentralized Game Mods ) is an actual platform
where game mod creators can thrive without the fear of
censorship , bans , or losing their connection with fans . Game
mod creators and enthusiasts are empowered here because ,
well , we literally can ' t fuck with them .

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 .
< br / >
< / p >
< 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 .
< / p >
< 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 !
< br / >
< / p >
< h3 className = 'LearnTextHeading' >
Wait , Crypto ? ! Ew .
< br / >
< / h3 >
< p className = 'LearnTextPara' >
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
2024-10-15 13:26:18 +00:00
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 ) game
mods and their creators , and this part potentially helps
them financially , even those in other countries where
2024-07-11 15:09:47 +00:00
"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 .
< br / >
< / p >
< p className = 'LearnTextPara' >
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 . . .
< br / >
< / p >
< h3 className = 'LearnTextHeading' >
So , What is DEG Mods ?
< br / >
< / h3 >
< p className = 'LearnTextPara' >
DEG Mods is an open - source game mods browser ( you can stop
right here if you want ) of what ' s uploaded on servers owned
by unrelated people around the world . That ' s the appropriate
description .
< br / >
< br / >
For what some people might call it :
< br / >
"It's a game mods website."
