Like...email? Usenet?
- Realman78 3mo agoSure, the offline delivery part can be thought of as e-mail-ish. Is that what you're going for?
- 627467 3mo agoNot sure why you're downvoted but email came to mind too: can't group chat be compared to an email thread with the same set of recipients throughout?
- kmacleod 3mo agoPossibly very much like Usenet. In the 80s there was a distributed "Slack-like" (for lack of a better description) distributed BBS network called Citadel (still some sites around now Internet based). I wrote a UUCP clone and UseNet gateway for CitNet and made it available through a Citadel BBS "newsreader" to callers. "uccico unidel ken bitsko macleod" still brings up some results[0] [0] https://groups.google.com/g/alt.bbs/c/QFvfoxxONGU https://groups.google.com/g/alt.bbs/c/QFvfoxxONGU
