Why was Lufi removed?

I just looked and Lufi and its instances don't seem to be there anymore.
I know it's all about picking the best recommendations, but you can't realistically expect that normal users (which makes most of Privacyguides.org visitors) would self-host some web app and use their own home-server to send files.

For me, I simply use upload.disroot.org because Disroot is the most trusted Lufi instance I found. I really think we should add something like this for most people.

Because it no longer exists https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/discussions/494#discussioncomment-1975099 https://alt.framasoft.org/en/framadrop

I'm not talking about Framadrop, but Lufi.
There are in the same link many other instances, one of them being Disroot which was trusted on the site for a very long time (and I don't think they have any benefit in manipulating Lufi to break the e2ee)

Also, are there any better alternatives? I don't think so.

It doesn't seem to have been updated for 5 months, so there seems little reason to list it.

[youdontneedtoknow22]

But there isn't any alternative out there.
As I said, you can't expect the visitors of Privacyguides (who want to learnt about privacy without being linux admins) to host their data on their servers and share them. Most people just upload files to some website and share it, so it's at least way safer to do this with Lufi, unless there's an alternative.

This is being discussed on our new forum: https://discuss.privacyguides.org/t/add-lufi/161/

We are currently not comfortable with recommending Lufi, but I agree that we can improve the File sharing page.
