talk 2 @NerdRat if you are interested #HackerCulture
Using #thunderbird to read and post to #usenet https://www.i2pn2.org/common/Thunderbird/Usenet-Thunderbird.html
new #howto with updated features. for a list of usenet servers: https://sybershock.com/#usenet if you are a #hacker a #tinkerer a #selftaught #maker etc
you can ask @nerdrat@hispagatos.org for help in creating an usenet account with #hispagatos we block google and run only text #newsgroups
I'm going to disagree with that last bit - people *did* know better a decade ago, at least some of us. Social spaces on the net long predated the arrival of big tech and commercial social sites - we used email and #newsgroups and the Unix `talk` and `finger` protocols and #IRC and other things to keep in touch with people, from the person at the terminal next to yours, to someone at a university halfway around the world.
We warned about the big #commercial sites when they arrived.
I suppose a unified system almost existed with #nntp #Usenet #newsgroups - at least until #protocols diverged - when only some supported #ync etc.
But I guess that's the point - an open system will never remain the same as long as Twitter did. It will never be a monolith.
Backtracking one more time - I suppose #email is the exception - there's a baseline, but many providers offer extras.
That could happen with #ActivityPub
I've been spending a lot of time on #Lemmy and #kbin and the communities both here and there remind me a lot of the communities that I encountered in #IRC chatrooms and #newsgroups back in the day, ie. highly nerdy, highly tech literate.
The #fediverse creates a lot of interesting new technical and social problems, but it also solves the problem of how to get big tech the fuck out of my social media. I think I'll stay.
@jacobydave And then there’s the increasingly vanishing set that knows about #newsgroups
Who's willing to post again in #Usenet #Newsgroups now that your cool corporate centralised Usenet replacement got enshittified?
so... been here for a little over a month. I have to say, I've become a bit obsessed with the #Mastodon experience. the people, the debates, so much of this reminds me of my early #Internet days browsing #Usenet #newsgroups and finding a whole new world of people and conversations out there. A truly mind- and world- opening experience that was.
Somewhere in this thread I have a comment about the source of funding.
Also don't like it isn't #federated. Really getting into #fediverse. The more I learn about it the more I like it.
I'm tired of walled off gardens. I'm ready to go back to 1980's #BBS and 1990's #newsgroups if #SocialMedia and the #internet keeps up the walled gardens.
Un peu d'histoire Geek
Pour ceux qui ne le savent pas le projet GNU/linux
a démarré le 25 Août 1991 à 20:57 par un simple post sur le réseau social qu'on utilisait à l'époque, les #newsgroups
nntp / terminal
sur mon PC Free-Solutions OS
un peu plus de 30 ans plus tard...
C'est mais ça fait aussi partie de l'histoire car aujourd'hui tout le monde utilise
tous les jours et le plus souvent sans le savoir
