@saint @publicvoit where do I sign up?

@mms @publicvoit nntp.indraspost.net ;))

@saint @mms Drop me a line in case you find promising groups related to PIM, Emacs, orgmode, datacurators, ...

I still need to figure out about NNTP service providers with a decent variety of groups.

@saint @publicvoit
Not sure if NNTP would fulfil, especially if it become popular, the DMA/DSA requirements. Or even the copyright directive requirements, e.g. regarding upload filtering.

@yacc143 @saint What's different to the Fediverse with that?

I'm going to miss the community, I'm not going to miss the platform.

• No Backup, No Distribution
• User Interface Dictatorship
• Rule Monopoly and Subjective Censorship
• User Account Hurdle

@publicvoit those are all good reasons, but the biggest reason I gave up Reddit was that they are selling my writing on their website to companies like OpenAI to train their large language models. I believe it is extremely exploitative and unethical to take this information that was given to them for free to develop this technology that they use to generate massive profits for themselves.

@ramin_hal9001 Good point. There was no ChatGPT when I initially wrote the article. But I might as well extend this notion.

@ramin_hal9001 Oh, this has been added by me at the bottom of the page already. Maybe I'm going to emphasize it a bit more in future.
