An ActivityPub server with an NNTP interface.

Yes, please! This seems great.

There is some merit to concerns about the culture on Stack Exchange. Just like on Wikipedia, you can run into some rando småpåve who thinks they’re the king of the world and tries to put you in your place while they’re the one who’s being all wrong about something.

It sucks when that happens, but overall I think Wikipedia and especially Stack Exchange have been successes, especially in the context of the ephemerality of Usenet and IRC.

Tera news provides free uncensored, unlogged, NNTP news server access to all newsgroups, including the binary newsgroups.
