Sunsetting Sntry

Let's cut to the important part: over the past week, our staff team has discovered that Sntry/Stellular services have been used to facilitate the distribution of illegal material (i.e. substances, pornography, etc.). While this problem would ordinarily be solvable through enhanced moderation, we've found this sort of content has made up >60% of our total pageviews over the past two months. I (as well as the rest of the Stellular staff) have decided that the best course of action in this situation, is to go ahead and pull the plug on Sntry. This is a difficult decision which has been in discussion for months, but I believe this is the best thing to do to prevent our services from behind used to harm the lives of others.

Over the past two (almost three) years, I have been in ownership of Sntry/Stellular services. Unfortunately, other commitments have caused an oversight in our moderation and development. I always loved Sntry and the community, but grew tired of it after about a year. By the fall of 2024, I had effectively abandoned the project. While I apologize for my lack of communication over the past year, I thank all of you who stuck with the project for your continued support. For the past year, I have paid for Sntry's server costs out of pocket, which I have been fine with doing as I believed, it was the least I could do for the community I abandoned. The community that uses Sntry today is not the same one I left.

According to our analytics, 55% of traffic to Sntry is from paid advertisements. Organic search, social, and video consistently rank the lowest among referral sources. Obviously, for a site which does not advertise itself, that's not what you want to see. The top pages for Sntry have been pages which contain links to pirated content, obscene videos or images, scam sites, telegram groups, CSAM content, or illicit drug markets. I intended Sntry to be a place where you could express yourself and share your works for free quickly and easily. While I always knew an anonymous pastebin is going to attract some shady personalities (thus is the nature of any anonymous platform), this is the first time I've seen them outnumber the legitimate uses.

This can go on no longer. I can no longer ignore Sntry as it is used to actively harm people. If you're reading this from a page which advertises such illegal content, I strongly urge you to seek help immediately. Effective November 10th, 2025, Sntry and all related services are closed indefinitely. Below, you can find some questions you might have, as well as their answers.
