Not OP but the thing I miss the most from Usenet and IRC is the fact that they were client agnostic. I hate the discord client. I hate the reddit client and the facebook. I'd love to be able to have an open source desktop based client that I can modify and implement all sorts of plugins for it. I hate that we moved from services/protocols to closed vertical monolith.
