Do you guys remember using DC++ back in the day? The Direct Connect network? It was really interesting experience. People would just share their folders with movies, music, books, games or whatever and you were free to browse the folders and pick files that you liked and download them.

This gave you a peek into someone's tastes, into someones personality. Often you would find folder like "top songs" and if your taste matched the taste of the other person you would get the other songs too. The browsing was part of the fun. DC essentially moved the experience from connecting our PCs with ethernet cables at LAN parties to the internet and online world.

Would it be possible to ever get experience like this on Nostr? The solutions like shared playlists on Tidal seem still really centralized. There was some beauty about using random protocols to have fun.
