Is Soulseek safe?
I saw another post asking how to set up Soulseek and, at first glance, it looks like those old P2P file sharing platforms, like eMule, Kazaa or Limewire.
As someone who used those during their peak, I'm well aware of the risks of getting unwanted stuff, not to mention that you're fully exposed within the network.
Does Soulseek deal with those issues, or are users exposed to those risks as well?

Soul seek is a godsend! There isn’t a stronger music community out there. At least one that can be accessed publicly. I have been using it for over 20 years and never had a problem with bunk files or copyright claims. It seems like ss has been operating under the radar all this time. It started out as an electronic music community, but you find nearly anything now. There is a good Linux app as well called nicotine. I think it works better than the windows version.
It's crazy how many people put all their shares as private though. It's changed alot. That said I just ask if I can downlaod the files and they 90% of the time oblige.
Good ol' cat and mouse game. Gonna give it a try for a while
