Bruh. #Usenet, #Fidonet and #UUCP (#UUCPnet) beg to differ (no reason you couldn't use #NNCP for Usenet now if #NNTP isn't your thing).

So do #SSB and #retroshare.

That criticism is pretty much specific to #ActivityPub as commonly implemented.

The #Fediverse is more than just ActivityPub and will outlive it.

@lispi314 usenet is a ghost town (I do want to undo this sobehow)

@ellenor2000 Aye, and yes.

A lot of good ideas there, and unlike *many* other protocols and standards, it lends itself exceedingly well to #AsynchronousCommunication, as it was in fact a major design consideration.

It makes its use away from the #clearnet, or indeed away from any network or peer outside of occasional synchronization, a definite option.
