What’s Newsgroups?

Why is this the case?

Nostr is fine but I find the frontends to be janky. Plus there is some community bleed due to the bridges that have been created between Nostr and the Fediverse.

Forum software is best for asking questions and I’d ask more here but nobody would even read those questions if I did lol

I love it though. I find it so much fun.

Although maybe I’d find forumming as fun as microblogging if the people here were nicer.

Having a larger and more culturally, ideologically and demographically diverse community plays HEAVILY into that side of the Fedivere’s favor. I enjoy my time over there far more than over here. People here are extremely touchy and culty, while people over there seem pretty chill. I also think the frontends over there have matured better than the forum software, although we’re starting to catch up, and third-party frontends here absolutely outclass the default.

Well that’s good

Why is it designed this way? Someone could upload illegal materials for example and that content still remains on the server. Wouldn’t that be a huge liability for instance hosters?

I guess they view themselves as being censored from Threads? 🤷🏾‍♂️

I mean, boo hoo, it’s not like any of us are pretending that Meta supports free speech principles in practice…
