Need an advice
a week ago
I'm ongoing of multiple SFM rendering I wish to share soon, but there's 1 thing I would like to get in order to share things the way they are without being striked or restricted of because "being explicit content" stuff or something: Are there any others free video hosting site than Catbox to host "Explicit" grade content ? Is Furry Network worth for it ? And you might ask: why do you ask something else than Catbox ? This site got many times troubleshootings and do sometimes get corrupted files making the video unreadable or even broken when hosted and also because it connection speed is awful, especially with High-Definition videos, even though I'm always making sure to render them in 1080P for size. When it comes for Twitter/X, there are 2 things to know:
-1: with how Internet is going actually, especially in Europe ((need a VPN to see all content without restrictions because of morons believing that it is the job of high states to do things to protect children from Internet (Just educate them and keep an eye on what they seee and teach them what are those things, stop asking for high states to do shit that are supposed to be YOUR duties)), Twitter could get Hidden post because of it states and also because of the nature of some stuff, I'm sure they won't even pass the 1st hosting grade.
-2: You might not know it, but Twitter actually got a Media Gap, when you reach it, all older post are erased for Server's Memory Space Savings, which will put you in a disturbing circumstance of loosing some of your oldest but precious post you've shared so far, pushing sometimes users to make multiple accounts just to be sure to host all their work at the reach of everybody without loosing any of it, so not a good place for long time storage.
I know there's Google Drive or even DropBox or Mega, but yet I do still have worries that they would because of the nature of some of the work I'd like to share to be censored, for porn they stilll tolerate, but when it comes for other stuffs, I'm not quite sure they'll do not censore them or even erase them after hosting because of "Hidden User's Conditions". And also, no need for me to try to post my things on E621 again because of their stupid "Quality Standards" politic, they host open shit content, but slight SFM posters are considered trash (that's what happenned to my 1st post on this site) and removed, plus having a post limit reduced because of this politic just makes me feels better to not post anything there anymore, since nothing has remained. I know the reputation of Inkbunny, so I shall not post things on this platform who became a nest for mongrels. So asking again, are there any websites like CatBox that can host any type of content without restrictions or "Hidden User's Conditions" ?

It is not possible to find a website like Catbox that allows hosting
any type of content without restrictions, as all legitimate, public-facing services must comply with laws and have an Acceptable Use Policy. These policies are necessary to prevent illegal activities and ensure the service remains operational.
The types of prohibited content and activity typically include:
Copyright infringement: Unauthorized sharing of copyrighted material is illegal. Platforms must remove infringing content when they receive a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notice.
Illegal content: All services prohibit the hosting of illegal material, such as child sexual abuse images or content related to terrorism.
Abuse and harassment: Many services include provisions against using their platform to abuse, defame, threaten, or harass others.
Malicious software: It is against the rules to upload or transmit viruses, worms, and other malicious code.
For users seeking services with more lenient terms or specific features, the best options involve self-hosting or using decentralized and privacy-focused services, but these also carry limitations.
Catbox alternatives for specific use cases
For image and video hosting
Imgur: A popular image hosting platform, but it has content guidelines and is not without restrictions.
Flickr: Primarily for photographers, it is used for hosting high-quality images and has its own content policies.
Vimeo: A video hosting platform with a focus on creators and businesses. It offers private hosting options but has strict guidelines and is not intended for completely unrestricted content.
For temporary file sharing
WeTransfer: Designed for sending large files temporarily. It's often used by creative professionals and doesn't require an account for free transfers, but it has a 2 GB limit.
Firefox Send (discontinued): While this service offered encrypted, temporary file sharing, it was shut down after being used to distribute malware. Its discontinuation highlights the challenges of operating a service with minimal restrictions.
For general file storage
Cloud services (Google Drive, Dropbox, Mega): These offer varying amounts of free storage but all have terms of service that restrict certain file types, such as copyrighted material and malware. Mega is known for its strong encryption and generous free storage but is not entirely without rules.
Self-hosting as an alternative
The only way to achieve near-total control over your content and remove hidden user conditions is to run your own server. This removes reliance on a third-party service provider's rules but comes with significant responsibilities.
The process and drawbacks of self-hosting
Technical knowledge: You will need to purchase and set up your own server or use a Virtual Private Server (VPS) from a provider like Nixihost. This requires technical expertise in server management, security, and maintenance.
Legal responsibility: You become the sole party responsible for the content hosted on your server. Any illegal content, such as copyrighted material, could lead to legal action against you directly, not just a content takedown notice.
Financial cost: You are responsible for all server-related expenses, including the server itself, bandwidth, and maintenance.
Liability risks: Hosting and distributing certain types of content can expose you to legal and civil liability, depending on your jurisdiction and the nature of the material.
