After rarbg went down, I got into a private torrent site. They expect everyone to maintain a certain ratio, which is reasonable, but there is actually no way to build ratio.

What’s the situation with that sort of thing on lemmy? Is it a free for all? Same situation as back there? Something in between? I guess we...
