24 years ago this week, Google made its first acquisition, a Usenet archive called Dejanews. I was a regular. In this blog post I tell you where Google hides that treasure trove of information from long before Reddit. #retrocomputing #dotcomera #webhistory #usenet https://dfarq.homeip.net/deja-news-googles-first-acquisition/

L'idea di "#defederazione" ha un precedente ai bei tempi di #Usenet: c'era la "Usenet Death Penalty"¹ con la quale si cercava di isolare dalla rete i server i cui gestori non combattevano adeguatamente lo SPAM e gli altri net-abuse.
In Italia era stata applicata contro il news server di Telecom Italia² (all'epoca TIN)

In most areas, you had a choice among multiple BBSs. If you didn't like the vibe at one place, you'd call another. Sysops liked callers, so they learned pretty quickly that they'd lose out if they were bad at moderating.
#Usenet didn't offer the same choice of providers for most, but there were usually real life consequences for behaving too outlandishly there.

In the 2000s I went back to look at a #Usenet newsgroup which had been a major part of my online life in the 1990s. All the people had gone, but the spambots were still there. The entire contents of the group were just bot spam, automatically generated and posted at nobody to be read by no one. The bots were even replying to one another’s threads with more spam. A forum where genuine human interactions had forged friendships and fostered community over some years had dwindled to nothing more than grift machines trying to sell crap to each other.
20 years later the same shit is going down again with a new coat of #AI paint, this time with revenue and shareholders involved.
I bet the old Usenet forums could tell some stories here.

@rauschma I think the problem most "#TechIlliterates" and "#Normies" have boil down to the fact that they don't want to engage with how the #Fediverse works and that it's closer to #eMail, #UseNet and espechally #RSS and not some algorithmically optimized hellhole that shits #RageBait at them because baking people #doomscroll instead of #bloomscrolling makes their "metric" of #ScreenTime go up.
While #Netflix and others are getting worse (ads, restrictions, etc.), piracy tools are getting better (Sonarr, Radarr, etc.). In other words, the industry wants the customer to pay for a worse experience.
Can we bring back #usenet Is there a place for it in today’s world ? Maybe it just needs a new UI/UX?

ich war im #usenet anwender, bei ask1 & voy/forum; bis 2014 meta, dann weg da; kurze pandemiebedingte unterbrechung bei instagram; twitter seit 2012 in 2023 ; tumblr: https://fellnasen.tumblr.com/; sonst nix; #email ist sehr groß; XMPP. kein proprietäres profil, nur hier _hier_ im fediverse.
ab projektstart habe ich bei twitter das bluesky beobachtet und frage mich gerade, was die kulturszene in diesem wirren relay-cluster sucht. ich bin da nach 8 std. schreiend weggelaufen.
