Bigfoot

I am in a similar boat. Since you have Tidal might want to look into Tidal-dl to “backup” the things you especially like in high quality.

Tidal is actually not too bad, and it pays artists more than other services (not a lot, just more) but I do expect it to go downhill/away eventually so I make a habit of downloading what I can and supporting the artist directly in other ways.

I have to assume half of Lemmy is people banned from reddit for being like this. Im worried they’re slowly scaring away everyone else and its distilling the ecosystem into a toxic pit

It needs to grow because right now its like 50% people who were banned from reddit because they dont socialize well
