I started the Internet on Usenet in the 1990s. Nothing on this site can affect me. 🤣

@DeWayfarer You know though, there are a few people that this is their first social media site.
SW is nowhere near as bad as it gets, but a little much for a beginner.

@SunSetStrut You have no idea, what Usenet was like back then or even now, by that statement. "Site" is not the appropriate word even now.
Usenet was the darkweb of its day. And is no longer what it was then.
You see today's browsers are not capable of accessing the whole nntp:// protocol. They could back then. Today you would need a separate program/app as well as a separate server.
Not even a tor browser can access the NNTP protocol. Oh both could through website. Yet that would be quite limited and likely heavily censored. Defeating the whole purpose.
Today's Internet is totally in the "bright lights". Where secrets are not such a thing. At minimum an AI knows about what was said or shown, even if no one else saw it.

If you are going to steel his material, just remember @CaptainBard may sue you for plagiarism or make you walk the plank off of his ship!
