Is there any inherent or structural reason why SPACing would make a company worse off than IPOing? Or is it just that weaker companies choose to SPAC?

Off topic: can any suggest the easiest way to run a USENET/NNTP server (open source preferred)? I've Googled a bunch but cannot find a decent solution.
