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

In response to this post Rocksolid Light is maturing well and I prefer Usenet over the Fediverse. The code maintainer just recently added some BBS games to the portal. There is a #Usenet Fediverse/Lemmy group to which you can inform 272 subscribers of #NNTP related stuff: usenet_lemmy.ml (replace the underscore with 'at' sign.). Just put a mention address for the group and your subject as the first line then all the subscribers will see it. Your first line will show up as the subject in the group, so be sure to put the mention addresses below your toot message, not above it. Here is the link to the Lemmy Usenet group where you can get the mention address: https://lemmy.ml/c/usenet I didn't put the address in here because I don't want this post going to the group. @vga256@dialup.cafe #Usenet #NNTP #Newsgroups
@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

In response to this post I just read your recent blog article about tomo bbs. I would like to pull the code and poke around. It is an interesting project. Do you have a link to a public code repository? I have done some theming for the Rocksolid Light portal, so anything connected to that is interesting to me. Here is my demo mini theme: https://news.octade.net (username: 'guest', password 'guest123', chars in reversed order). #tomo #BBS #Usenet #NNTP #RocksolidLight #retro #forums #OpenSource

@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
