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 was not born 30 years ago, but I’d like to embrace more the “caring is sharing” mantra. I wonder what’s your ‘workflow’/management of your uploads to seed? as in it takes storage and so on, so what are your best practices folx?

      A seedbox transformed torrenting for me, but now I only use Usenet for movies/tv and Mobilism & Anna’s Archive for mags and books.

      2.00 for anything I download and isn’t broken or garbage

      5.00 for anything small, popular, or that I’m passionate about

      Probably going to bump that up higher for some things, it’s been slow lately

      I only recently got the ability to seed long-term and privately. I don’t bother with private trackers and don’t expect I ever will. That’s partially because I don’t care about new shows or movies, and partially because I don’t like exclusionary communities. My setup is virtualized, not on dedicated hardware, so I don’t have a lot of space to throw at this. I’m a small fish in a big pond and I focus on keeping alive things that I’ve enjoyed.
