For too long imo, piracy had become a “grab it all” environment. The old “Caring is Sharing” mantra seems to have disappeared. So maybe, this Lemmy could revert back 20-30 years to become a real sharing community. IDK.

    I never got into soulseek and this is honestly one of the reasons. and all the stuff I was finding wasn’t anything I couldn’t find elsewhere.

      The ONLY reason I still use soulseek is weird obscure shit you can’t find anywhere else. I’m talking some folk-punk singer songwriter from bumfuck, Indiana who toured the country twice in a 3yr span and disappeared into obscurity by 2008. You won’t find that anywhere except local record shops in that town, or slsk in my experience.

        ah. most of the obscure/niche stuff that I listen to music-wise are japanese doujin circles which I couldn’t find on soulseek at all.

            Not really? Most stuff nowadays is shared on discord and a couple major doujin sites, along with vk. all free. no-one is hiding/trading anything, just sharing what they have. Though, Japanese people in particular aren’t exactly the pirate types so it’s all westerners doing it.
