Reddit is just Usenet with upvotes.

Is there an Open Source Android client for NNTP?

@Edent That long-form article about Snopes that’s been doing the rounds the last couple of days mentions “… Usenet, a precursor of sorts to Reddit” and I immediately crumbled to dust.

(I would love to see a Usenet 2.0, but it needs private-key managed identities and distributed moderaton/shared killfiles. I wonder if something like NNTP wrapped inside a Nostr envelope would work…)

@Edent
There only seems to be Usenet Panda that handles text groups at all. There are still active groups though.

@simon_greenwood I don't think that's open source - unless I'm looking at the wrong app?

simon_greenwood,

@Edent That's literally the only app I can see that isn't an NZB downloader. Nothing on F-Droid either.

maxf,

@Edent Also, are there NNTP servers with active communities? Couldn't find any last time I checked. I miss Usenet.
