Understand that we don't believe we would necessarily fail.

Instead, the values of this network do not and cannot align with my 
values.

This is why I am demotivated. The technical challenge is surmountable, 
almost easy, in my estimation. I recommend everyone give it a go, at least 
to start a private, non-Usenet NNTP forum. The social challenge makes me 
wonder if I should not instead try to come to command an army and destroy 
the entire network, collateral damage be damned.

When I come across Usenet admins, they cannot clearly say that they will 
ban and filter anyone they come across committing harassment, nor that 
they will institute a code of conduct which is actively antifascist, 
because the values of the network are not actively antifascist and in fact 
tend towards calling antifascists whiners.

Some people don't like multiline signatures. I kindly request that they 
keep their concerns in their own brains. Usenet isn't what it used to be. 
The servers are more powerful, have more storage, and have faster uplinks 
in even the worst cases. Long sigs can't hurt you anymore.
