Welcome to the 4Chan /g/ Usenet General Thread!
>What is /usenet/?
Open standard protocols still exist and are what the internet was built on
(http, irc, rss, ftp, etc). TNot 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Some, like FTP are outdated and insecure.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.
>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, mpossible 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 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 anons in an uncensored, decentralized, and fun hackerman way.
>DO I HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING?
No, you can use the aforementioned eternal-september.org with any client of your choice, or use the service of newsgrouper.org to access freely online (register to post)
>OK I’M IN - WHERE DO I POST!

WHAT CLIENT SHOULD I USE?
>Pan (gnome newsreader - Multiplat)
>Seamonkey
>Gnus for GNU Emacs
>Mozilla Thunderbird
>want to take a peek?
