i can't believe i'm saying this - i just realized that i want #usenet groups back.
edit: before i get more replies, i've been a usenet user/subscriber for 30 years, and i still use it daily. i'm very aware that it's still in heavy usage.
to clarify - I'd like to see a usenet back, minus the "big 8" cabal, minus 200TB / day binaries, and all of the ugly crap we've seen since the 80s.
i'd like to see something like a new usenet offering activitypub integration, minimal data transfer (text-only), and easy group management.
@vga256 they still exist in some capacity. there was some buzzing over on lemmy about it. i'm not sure what the spam to post ratio is but it's not all binaries these days.
