I’ve made the argument countless times. If you want to call raping a 17 year old pedophilia, that’s up to you. I’m not going to call a swimming pool a lake.

Usenet pros:

• not p2p so no real chance of getting busted
• max out your bandwidth the whole time you’re downloading
• no need to seed, no ratios, etc
• Cheap AF

Usenet cons:

• Files aren’t forever. Servers do delete content after some time so search results aren’t always available on your server
• Usenet servers, especially in the US, are pretty responsive to DMCA demands
• Not free
• Complexity of setup (Sab + Arrs) are a barrier to entry
• Public nzb search engines aren’t always going to have what you need. Private search engines are usually invite only and/or cost money per year
• Far less variety for niche stuff than torrents (imo, ymmv)

I mean you can also say someone is a murderer of they eat cabbage, but you’d be wrong.

Calling everyone you dislike a pedo is as lame as calling everyone you dislike a commie or Hitler.

Seriously… having sex with or raping a 17 year old doesn’t make you a pedophile. It makes you a statutory rapist. That’s bad enough without having to make dumb shit up as an insult.

I’m surprised and disappointed so many on lemmy are falling into that sort of weak bullshit but… here we are

The same can be said of lemmy, mastodon or any publically accessible forum

With bluesky ,the sign up has a section where you choose a server. The bluesky server is prefilled. Otherwise you add your own.

But not having that default option and instead having to have the user go research and figure out which server to use is an immediate turn off.

Again, words have meanings. I’m sorry that makes you emotional and require all caps to try and make your point.

Explain how I’m wrong? Or did you think banging a 17 year old is literally pedophilia?

It’s annoying when right wing weirdos label everyone that disagrees with them a pedo, it’s not any less annoying when it’s done by everyone else.

It absolutely doesn’t

Define pedophilia for me

Sure, that works
