What is it about music spaces that are so difficult on the internet exactly? What is it about music that is just hard to talk about on a board?
/Mu was fun back in the day before it got racist, because it was mostly a file sharing board. I had hard drives full of stuff, mostly unknown and totally lost to time now. Then with streaming that got less attractive, and it got super racist so there's that.
Reddit has a few boards but a lot of them are bad. Self promotion on boards never work because if it's a spot for self promotion no one listens to anything and everyone just posts there own stuff. The main Reddit music board is of course a blight, it's just weird chud music city.
There's a sweet spot where the board has to be big enough that you don't have no taste overlap between users, but also small enough that there's actual discussion and not just people supporting the music that's already popular. Indieheads on reddit used to be pretty good about that years ago, but it was made a default sub and now it's pretty useless for finding or talking about music.

Bruh, it was racist looooong before that. I left around 2009 and it was already a cesspool back then

The thing that made /mu so good was that every other site banned filesharing
