Eternal September: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September September was traditionally the time of new admissions in US collages and universitie. As a result of these institutes often being the first time many would gain access to Usenet September had areputation of clueless newbies flailing around until they either self selected out or adapted. In 1993 AOL gave their userbase Usenet access. Thus the term 'Eternal September' or 'The September that never Ends.'

Luser: Portmantu of Loser and User. Used Derisively in some online communities in the 90's to refer to new, and often clueless, users.

For the past thirty two years, and counting.

I was there at the beginning. Just a wee Luser. Such fun and wonderful times for eleven year old me to be punted into.

Next issue releases in April. We switched to quarterly because, to be honest, there was editor burnout trying to scrape for content each month and the zine ended up being like... three articles. VERY underwhelming.

Gemini actually.

And the CSS for the http site is literally from ctrl-c's main page with a few values tweaked, as i didn't like fullblack on background, and I edited the widths a bit. I think.

SDF is kind of the grandaddy of it all. There is another system from 82, that is now under the care of SDF.

And thus you miss the point that tomasino used youtube as outreach. He also posts to peertube.

Now me linking to youtube when telling them about it was kindof an 'on me' sort of problem, but at the same time you need to make people aware a thing exists and to do that you must get outside of the thing's bubble.

Hi. I'm the guy that tipped HaD off to these things.

Tilde communities predate the Tildes 'service.' and is effectivly a return/recreation of the pre-graphical web service model of 'you're connecting with a specific machine and using its services.'

No it isn't for everyone, and sadly no while most have email services gmail, icloud, etc refuse to interact with them.

I like it, but I'm functionally insane. It gives me a place to post static sites and my gemini based blog.

Reddit's automod thing says I threatened violence and harm and. I dunno? But I recall effectivly advocating against harm in the subs where discussion was going on. However It's funny. The morning after I remind folk that 'oh hey the corporate platforms, including reddit, will try to stifle discussion of altenritives' I eat a ban wit ha YOU WERE INCITING VIOLENCE AGAINST PEOPLE warning.

...As I said.

They would not fear us, if we could not harm them.
