@octade @vga256 thank you for the information. i prefer usenet myself, it's what i grew up on. fediverse is pretty decent but i find better conversations in bbs/usenet format in general. especially with the topic is focused vs a tarpit on something like reddit which imo is centralized garbage

Reddit went from egotistical admin space to utterly revolting with the advertisements.

OCTADE
In response to this post@vga256@dialup.cafe
I am planning to eventually post in alt.rhubarb again when I release my next hobby projects. I'm not too impressed with some of the busy newsgroups because of trolls and nutters.
Other groups I watch but rarely post to:
rocksolid.nodes.help
sci.crypt
comp.os.plan9 (moderated by plan9 devs)
alt.cyberpunk
alt.folklore.computers
alt.hackers
news.admin.peering
hispagatos.talk
alt.cypherpunks
alt.privacy.anon-server
I follow some others and usually I don't find myself much interested in the discussions.
Modern Usenet is different than its heyday. Messages are generally much more infrequent. It seems more of a bulletin board than a discussion forum these days.
#Usenet #NNTP #Newsgroups
@octade that is the #1 reason why tomonet is not connected to rocksolid's network - it's full of weirdos and conspiracists

@octade @vga256 those are groups that would be on my watch roster. recently i went with a commercial account on usenet and had to really drill down past all the binary dumps to get into discussions. you're right, it's more like a bulletin board but i feel there's merit still
