The original computing engine was trinary (0,1,2)

[Cornette B. Meltzer‏]

Imagine what the world would be like today if we had that much extra
computing power. Instead, we're stuck in a binary-based system.

Quantum computing to the rescue!

A trinary computer would still be turingcomplete, and therefore exactly as
powerful as a binary one, to the degree that computing power can be
quantified.

Technically, we could have a binary or trinary computer that's not
Turing complete. Turing completeness is a function of the instruction
set of the computer. Even more technically, it also requires an
infinite memory. (But when someone says---it's Turing complete---, it's
usually just meant that it's able to loop.)

It's possible the someone just wants to fill that group with
off-topic postings.
