    You should probably think a little more. Public code repos are not anonymous. And torrents require some form of advertising to even know they exist.

      They can be. Throwaway account on hosted git service, connected through anonymity service (TOR, VPN…).

      And torrents require some form of advertising

      Many indexers are anonymous, a magnet link on a forum or even a site like lemmy is good enough.

      I’m not going to argue about the semantics of anonymity on the internet. If you want to stay hidden enough to distribute a mod and not be found out who you are, you can do it. Its not that difficult.

        You just did. Those things are not anonymous. And are subject to EAs lawsuits and likely to be taken down elsewhere just like they are on GitHub.

        I’d say if you can stay anonymous while distributing physical goods online, you can stay anonymous while distributing software online
