I still use Usenet (although I would like to find more newsgroups that I may be interested in), and actually only started using it in late 2019 (and read another article posted to Usenet by someone who also did). Usenet is still in use (although maybe not so much compared to before). (Note: I don't use binary newsgroups, and the service I use doesn't include them anyways. That is OK, because it is the text newsgroups that I am interested in.) The flaws they list I think are often not as bad as the alternatives. Additionally, there are mitigations for them, such as kill files, alternative interfaces, etc. I also think that you should continue to use NNTP, both Usenet and otherwise (when making your own newsgroups which are not part of Usenet, I suggest Unusenet to avoid namespace collision; it uses reverse domain names as name spaces, like Java and some other stuff does; and like Usenet it can be federated, but usually isn't). This is a better alternative to mailing lists and web forums, although it is possible to have multiple interfaces to the same messages (you could have web forum, mailing list, and NNTP, all interoperable with each other). I would like to find more Usenet (and/or Unusenet and/or others; I think there is also something called "Rock solid network", apparently?) newsgroups for some stuff I am interested to have, and would like to promote use of NNTP. (I also think that those who make available Usenet archives should implement proper From-munging. The only one I downloaded so far, does not do this.)
