I miss the predecessors to forums. I loved when it all was not web based. Majordomo and nntp.

Wait, the fediverse Isabel to cross the platforms? I had not picked up on that. I thought the fediverse was an IAM thing. Is it more of an ESB?

This all still reminds me of Usenet, nntp before it was ruined by spam. I would love an nntp client like thing for this. I can bring the data to me once per day. Efficient, I don’t need to linger more than necessary.

How much is it censorshipfree? How so?

This seems typical for dot com/social/next best thing. They grow at all cost in angel funding. Then cash out.

Yep, I had been teetering, I like the idea of a FOSS public solution. I still fondly remember nntp before it was ruined. It reminds me of Reddit in many ways.
