I still use Usenet daily. To post messages on programming and linux groups. And mind you, I'm not alone (else it wouldn't make much sense, would it?). In fact we're back in the good ol' pre-AOL time, when only a few roamed there.

- ojiikun 14y agoI would love to see someone set up an all-new Usenet network that is proactively disconnected from the old one and disallows any binaries. Especially if it were well-run and seeded by users from, say, HN, I imagine it could be a fabulous place for discussions on all things geeky. Hell, if you have to change the port numbers and the name of the system to get around ISPs that fear it, that'd even be fine.
