Controversial opinion: blogs were actually good and the shit that replaced them sucks

Controversialer opinion: Usenet was better than both. (Bring back killfiles.)

@jrredho @Green_Footballs Loved Usenet. And it’s still there. If enough folks go adopt old groups it come back to life too.

Ha! Yeah, it's still there. In fairness, I haven't looked to try it in more years than I'd like to say. :)

This just started me down a rabbit hole. :)

Fun fact: FreeBSD still have an up-to-date version of trn available via their Freeports repo.

Yup, I'm here for a resurgent Usenet
