• rootbadger.com: Usenet-style arts.books.sci-fi discussion

    Quick FYI for anyone this fits.

    RootBadger is open at:

    https://rootbadger.com/g/rb.arts.books.sci-fi

    The main site is https://rootbadger.com/ . It is a web discussion system built more like Usenet than a social-media feed: rb.* topic groups, durable threads, readable headers, signatures, RSS, private messages, search, and group subscription instead of algorithm churn.

    There are some newer bits being tested too, including Android beta work and BurrowTalk push-to-talk voice rooms tied to subscribed groups. The idea is still old-school: pick a group, follow a thread, reply in context, and let topics keep their shape.

    This particular RootBadger group is for science-fiction reading, authors, series, and recommendations. If that sounds useful or just interesting, come have a look. If not, no worries.

    Okay, nobody objected the first time you advertised your rival to
    rasff on rasff. But now you're repeating yourself.

    If you want to discuss sf, or even "sci-fi," on your personal walled
    garden, rather than here, nobody will stop you. But stop spamming
    about it here. Once was enough.
