Would it be fair to say that Reddit is the modern UseNet?

    Welcome to HN! I'm sorry that you were getting rate limited and have turned that off now (I'm a mod here). Our software does that because of past abuses by trolls, and the fact that it also affects users who show up here to discuss their work is the thing I hate most about our entire system. Please comment as much as you like—and thanks for working on rectifying the lost-Usenet issue.

      Awesome, I really appreciate that and I do understand the reasoning.

  no. reddit is owned by someone. it is censored periodically. it is monetized. usenet was built up in a more grassroots peer-to-peer way.
