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
Don’t go in the chatrooms except for private ones is my rule for soulseek for exactly this reason.
If you ignore the chatrooms, you should still be able to use it effectively.
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.
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.
it’s pretty widely known that its a toxic hellscape there, i’ve typically had great interactions with users in dm’s but the chatrooms have become overrun with toxicity and fascists over the past decade, it’s absolutely not representative of the online music community which is largely left leaning, even on p2p and piracy platforms
