Re: Young people peering

Understand that we don't believe we would necessarily fail.

Instead, the values of this network do not and cannot align with my
values.

This is why I am demotivated. The technical challenge is surmountable,
almost easy, in my estimation. I recommend everyone give it a go, at least
to start a private, non-Usenet NNTP forum. The social challenge makes me
wonder if I should not instead try to come to command an army and destroy
the entire network, collateral damage be damned.

When I come across Usenet admins, they cannot clearly say that they will
ban and filter anyone they come across committing harassment, nor that
they will institute a code of conduct which is actively antifascist,
because the values of the network are not actively antifascist and in fact
tend towards calling antifascists whiners.

ProTip:  Aspire to more.  You will fail.  But failure part of the
learning process.

 

Even if you fail when aspiring to mire, you will quite likely be in a
better position than you were before you tried.

 

I think I'm qualified to say Pro because I've been paid for the last 20
years for 10:aspiring, 20:failing, 30:goto 10.

 
I agree. Fear of failure will just keep a person from accomplishing much
of anything.
 
It's good to realize that people who end up producing something awesome
didn't just get it done on the first try, they tried, and tried again
with persistence.

Some people don't like multiline signatures. I kindly request that they
keep their concerns in their own brains. Usenet isn't what it used to be.
The servers are more powerful, have more storage, and have faster uplinks
in even the worst cases. Long sigs can't hurt you anymore.
