I remember when that issue came out.

Commodore 300 baud

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?

Been doing internet since about 1990, gopher, nntp, pop3

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.

Twitter was always boring….

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.
