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.

Yeah that is annoying as hell. Like I get it if it’s just like “my files are private, I’ll open them if you have shares” but that whole “I need X album FLAC and a $50 baskin robbins gift card and then I might share with you” shit is the lamest thing I’ve ever seen.
The lamest shit i’ve ever seen is someone had thousands of fake folders set up to look like they were seeding but they had 0 actual content shared.
Tbf if the folders were full of files that said “fuck you [Private] assholes” I’d laugh really hard. People should share and reshare, yes, and I do myself, but auto-banning people who are just starting out or making people beg for your [Privates] is for sure more lame than evading said assholes out of spite. At least that is understandable to me, there’s a human element of pettiness to it that speaks to me, whereas the albeit similarly human trait of lording over your stuff and controlling access neurotically resonates less so, since they’re not physical items.
