Not sure this has any real consequences for gamers?
I remember a Reddit post talking about how predatory this game was
I’m fine if someone spoiler tags it. There are people who don’t want to play or don’t care about spoilers and would like to know now. Unmarked spoilers are terrible.
People who purposefully spoil others are very sad and pathetic people.
Honestly reddit.com/r/usenet was the best but we know how that’s going. You can web search but basically you pay for a provider, sign up for indexers who are like torrent trackers and provide .nzb files. You use either SABnzbd or NZBGet to download the actual files. Sonarr and Radarr are automation tools. There’s some other concepts like retention and backbones but that’s not as important to get started.
https://frugalusenet.com/ is a good provider to get started. https://www.nzbgeek.info/ and https://nzbplanet.net/ are good indexers for beginners. I recommend SABnzbd over NZBGet as I don’t think get is actively being developed for anymore.
https://trash-guides.info/ is very good for Sonarr/Radarr set up but it can be quite overwhelming for non-technical users or beginners.
I also just remembered cache exists so poke around https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:ZU9NxnpPelwJ:https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/wiki/faq/&cd=10&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
I gave up on torrents a while ago and just focus on Usenet. It cost money (~$3/mo for a provider and another ~$2-3/mo for indexers) but it’s encrypted and doesn’t rely on P2P.
Also don’t forget that DVDs exist if you want to go a more legal route.
I don’t know how Discord became the end all be all for everything. Maybe it’s because it’s so easy to start a server? Either way as you said it’s terrible for searching and having asynchronous conversations.
I’m not a fan of Discovery or Picard and that “flavor” of new Trek. If you had criticisms or negative comments about anything it could get you banned on r/startrek if you didn’t go above and beyond to justify it.
Go take a look at https://startrek.website/post/225 and see how the admin reacts to comments they don’t agree with.
You also aren’t reliant on someone else running an instance that could go down at any time, either permanently or an outage.
You have to worry about it yourself though.
Why? It’s a less mature platform with less features and not enough content. I get the idea of it being attractive but it’s like Mastadon without the content you’ve got an uphill climb.
So can I not have my home page only be the communities I subscribe to by default?
I wish it was a sequel instead of a remake but remakes are much easier for a business to justify.
