Greetings sushichan. This is a recruitment post from the 4Chan /g/ Usenet General. We're nice and comfy and spreading the love.
Cross posting to raise awareness, reinvigorate, recruit and everything in between.
Posting on usenet is free, easy and is a most comfy experience.
>What is /usenet/?
Open standard protocols still exist and are what the internet was built on
(http, irc, ftp, etc). It's NOT owned by corpos, not under
govt control, and are accessible to anyone with an internet connection.
They simply exist to be built upon and enjoyed by all.
Some, like FTP are outdated and insecure. Others, like rss, irc, http, usenet are still glorious and wonderful open standards.
Join us and discuss such topics on one such protocol:
NNTP, aka usenet.
>no rly WTF IS USENET
Literally it means the Users Network. It’s an open protocol for posting and reading messages, organized by newsgroups. It's entirely decentralized, no single server, impossible to take down.
Today it is split between binaries and text. The binaries part is what it’s known for today: piracy. The text part is forgotten and almost completely abandoned, until now.
>WHY POST ON USENET
Its open protocol, you can use any client you want or build you own. No costs, no subscriptions, no money. You can sign up through your ISP, or through eternal-september.org. Then you just need to install a client.
>THIS IS OLDER THAN MY DAD. WHY TF WOULD I DO THIS?
Because its is comfy.
Because it’s decentralized. Because instead of feeding some corpo ai bullshit like discord or whatever, you can have a conversation with like
minded sushi rolls in an uncensored, decentralized, and fun hackerman way.
>DO I HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING?
