@bovaz@misskey.social @mjg59@nondeterministic.computer @jwz@mastodon.social Sometimes you find someone absolutely determined to reinvent a wheel. I had a looong workshop where we were planning a distributed pub/sub messaging infrastructure. Got to the end of bashing out the requirements, and I said "you've just described NNTP. Let's use NNTP."
Three days of workshop later, we still weren't using NNTP.

@darkling@mstdn.social @bovaz@misskey.social @mjg59@nondeterministic.computer Did they decide it had to be XML, or REST, or Oauth? Or something even more perverse?
