So, I've sort of grown up in the Usenet, and this whole Federation thing sort of feels very reminiscent of it. To the point where I'm wondering why there isn't a way to access it in this fashion? Any tips would be very helpful. I love the idea of this thing and would probably even begin running my own server if that becomes viable.
NNTP gate would be a cool thing to have, imagine posting via Gnus/Emacs like 20 years ago.
What exactly does it mean to be Usenet-like, in terms of a Fediverse experience?
@leopardboy I'm coming from the PoV of accessing it. Every fediverse compatible instance is just another store of messages. Technically I have part of this, I'm writing this very reply on mastodon.social, but I can't explore beehaw.org unless I leave mastodon.social and go there. Basically it would mean treating the instance you work from as just an email account while showing compatible content from any source and allowing you to interact with it as is.
Would Mastodon fit?
