What's the deal with verycouch?
(lemmy.world)
verycouch
is offering two types of usenet related stuff:
You got your post probably removed on Reddit due the fact, that verycouchs usenet access is a backdoor one. That means, that verycouch is neither a usenet provider (like Newshosting) nor a usenet reseller (like Frugal). They basically just subscribe to other usenet providers (or resellers) like we all do and resell that access to you. That violates both the usenet providers ToS and Reddits usenet sub rule.
Paying for an API is referring to the second part, being a (also) shady usenet indexer.
Thanks - makes sense now. The site doesn't have any interesting content as far as I can see anyway!
We are a thriving community dedicated to helping users old and new understand and use usenet
