Huh? Have you actually *used* it? It's 100% about talk, but has been abused for media. -Dave
I have helped a friend mount hundreds of 18TB HDDs in sleds for some Usenet service he does work for. It's pretty wild looking at a wall of many petabytes of LEDs flashing... thinking.... I wonder what they are reading on usenet right now. There is a semi-local hackerspace that launched on the Mastodon during the great evil Elon revolt, and immediately there was a user backlash because the network of servers they were on touched a server that had content the user didn't agree with. It was amusing. - Ethan
