Usenet is awesome compared to forums, reddit, twitter, etc. The only

thing I like more than Usenet is IRC for quicker answers.

I agree. However, IRC is not as good for long form messages, so for that,

NNTP will be better. (Also, not all IRC channels are logged, but public

IRC channels probably should be logged, in my opinion. There is the raw

log format used in the #esolangs and #freeheromesh channels in Libera,

which I think is good. It is the following four fields separated by spaces:

direction (< for receive or > for send), UNIX timestamp, microseconds, and

then the IRC command (which may contain spaces).)

NNTP is also better in other ways, such as being able to store messages

locally, to read and compose messages while not connected to the internet,

to use your own choice of client software with features instead of being

forced to use web pages (which are too messy, and often slow), etc. There

are other advantages, too.

I also like NNTP better than mailing lists, too, instead of having all of

the messages in my email, needing subscription management, etc.

Of course, even if you have NNTP, you can also optionally have email, web

page, etc, too, but you do not have to; it can also do NNTP alone. (You

could also have read-only archives by HTTP or even by Gemini, if wanted.)

Usenet is censorship-resistant. Hundreds of servers around the world

carry your message when you post it. All political agendas have no power

here. There is no bellicose nanny telling us what to think. Such nannies

have no power to punish us for blasphemy against the party.

Yes, that is another thing that is good.

By using filters / killfiles on public Usenet, the trolls and spammers

disappear. If you don't like someone's opinion you can just filter them

out instead of trying to murder them for blasphemy against the party.

I agree, again; you can use kill files and scoring files.
