Could this become a "Caring is Sharing" sub, just like the old days (lemmy.world)

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.

The music I play is pretty damn niche and soulseek has been great for finding a lot of things that I just simply wont get anywhere else. Unfortunately it is also a genre full of elitest gatekeeping "vinyl only release" cunts so it naturally draws the locked file crowd.

If i wasnt poor then I would make it my mission to buy up and rip all the vinyl only releases just to make them available to everyone. Sadly I am poor xD

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You haven’t run into traders or hoarders in that circle?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

That’s good. Maybe it’s a less toxic scene
