On Port 80
- a3n 11y ago> Many Redditors are debating the relative merits of other Usenet-on-port-80 sites, such as voat.co and snapzu.com, both of which are groaning under the strain of so many emigrating Redditors. This misses the point, though. Smaller centralized sites can’t support the load of large ones, Usenet still exists, minus the ubiquitous availability of feeds. It could be the best solution to the Reddit/Digg problem is just to subscribe to a usenet service. As a fastmail user, I very much prefer the experience of being a customer rather than a product. I imagine once the pain for users/products on a service transitioning from hippie commune to suited business happens enough times at enough sites, people may start flipping the fuckit bit and subscribe to a usenet service. There are many.
