Secure Link Sharing & Obfuscation for Modding Communities

Posted by ProductIndie Admin1/16/2026

Target User

PC gamers and modding communities who use platforms like Discord to share legitimate links to modding resources (e.g., NexusMods) but are being unfairly penalized by automated content moderation systems.

The Problem

Modding communities face unfair account strikes or bans on platforms like Discord due to automated content moderation systems flagging legitimate modding links (e.g., NexusMods) as copyright infringement, making it risky to share resources.

The Solution

Create a 'safe link sharing' service or browser extension specifically for modding communities. This tool would obfuscate or proxy legitimate modding links to bypass automated filters on platforms like Discord, providing a short, unique, and verifiable link that redirects to the original source while appearing benign to scanners. It could also include a community-driven trust score for links.

Monetization Strategy

Freemium model (basic link shortening free, advanced features like link analytics or enhanced obfuscation for a small subscription) or supported by community donations.
