Seriously? I thought that shit died out in the 90s, like, who even uses that anymore? I mean, come on, it's 2024 - we got way better ways to get our info and connect with people these days. Why would I even bother setting up some old-school Usenet server when I got Reddit, Discord, and all these other modern platforms that are way more user-friendly and relevant? Like, Usenet was cool back in the day, I guess, but it's just so outdated now. The interface is clunky, the communities are tiny, and good luck finding anything useful that isn't buried in a million random posts. Nah, I'm good - I'll stick to the apps and sites I already use, where I can actually find the content and communities I care about. Usenet? That's some boomer shit, man.
