The only people in the chat seem to be the most racist, homophobic, sexist scumbags. It’s like walking into a 4chan convention… is that you guys? Why is it as soon as anonymity is there, the fucking assholes come out?
If this is the general spirit of piracy, I don’t know if I’m interested
why would you use soulseek for chat
i don’t go into the chat rooms, but i get about one dm a week from some rando or another who’s downloaded something from me thanking me for having whatever shit from 30 years ago they haven’t heard in forever, it’s honestly been a pretty positive experience overall for me.
like this lad last night
I always thank folks for obscure shit, and then add them to my friends list, open up my whole media library to them, and put them on a priority download list in exchange.
I generally only share music because I have slow upload speeds but I make exceptions for people I am grabbing media from
My philosophy is that slsk is for the downloads, not the conversation.
Every unmoderated internet space is destined to look like that. Just use it for music sharing and you won’t even know the chat is there.
Lots of crossover between 4chan and the general piracy community. First place I actually heard about soulseek was on the 4chan music board. I don’t really go there anymore. So yeah, its 4channers thinking they’re in good company.
