Usenet is a disaster zone It doesnt have to be that way though. it already is (and has been) the type of discussion network (no logging, no ads, no selling our data, etc) we all want already set up and ready for discussions and we all keep trying to reinvent the wheel year after year. The spam can be dealt with and could be quickly cleaned. Your insane people comment is silly. There are “insane” people on every platform (unless you are just saying anyone who doesnt agree with you is insane) so that wont go away. What usenet needs is good software so that reddit type folks can access the network.
