The free.* hierarchicy is available.
- throwaw4ybio 6y agoWould love to see a legit reply to this point. Usenet is there.
- 3np 6y agoIt's kind of in the article even if not mentioned explicitly: Usenet is not censorship-resistant or anonymous in the same way
- threeseed 6y agoBecause free speech like the author wants = objectionable content. Which server providers will be hosting that Usenet newsgroups and be willing to be legal responsible for said content ?
- DanBC 6y agoYou can host it yourself. INN is a server. slrn is one client, but there are lots. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterNetNews https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterNetNews

- DanBC 6y agoYou operate your own servers You use your own encryption
- anon20190221 6y agoHow would you trust anyone? Anyone can claim they are the good guys. With open source software, you can at least audit a project and the technical decisions (that make sure no one controls the network, even the authors) behind it.
