What does usenet have to do with the gofundme fundraiser from ‘15?

OOp, wrong post.

Usenet uses a port IIRC, which providers aren’t able to shut that off if they wish?

Going to give bitmitigate some time to find a solution for their peering problem. If we are still down in a few hours then maybe 8chan will just go clearnet and we can brave DDOS attacks like Ishmael on the Pequod.

Actually, its not an attack. It seems @bitmitigate might have just been deplatformed for hosting 8chan.

8chan is down. Looks like the CDN is under attack. We opened a ticket

Sounds like a good way to get what’s left of the usenet 86’d.

(Not that I’d miss it at this point, nothing left there but spam and viruses)
