    Illuminant - A NNTP-based Fediverse Server

    This is cool.

    It is a Fediverse server you can use with a newsreader client like Thunderbird.

    well, the only one I have seen using it so far was the programmer
    himself. I feel like it might not play to the strengths of either nntp
    or the fediverse. But I haven't gotten around to actually try it out.

    I’m not even sure *how* anyone without an account on the server already could begin to try it out. I, too, am not sure the gateway functions like
    any Usenet user would expect. To my thinking, the “groups” should be based on hashtags, not the user’s info. But I suppose that does properly reflect the one dimensional nature of social media.
