I mean i used it for years with tin and stuff... when it felt useful. Lets say this- it's a lot easier to setup a masto instance or even a discord server than it is to seed your own newsgroup.
Ha! Nope. Running "newgrp" is as easy today as it was in 1993. To each his own I guess. I'm a busy person, and the real-time comms of social media is way too distracting and takes up waaaaay too much time, and time is short.
Huh? Have you actually *used* it? It's 100% about talk, but has been abused for media.
I'd say it's about text, and what is in that text today is 99.999% for computers not humans!
Again, nope. But yes, it's about text, and it's people talking to other people. Just like it was decades ago. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
