Usenet worked incredibly well. Very simple rather than bloated with unnecessary features. I'd love to go back to that design.
Another thing about usenet: the concept of "forum slide" didn't exist because news readers kept track of what you had or had not seen. You could catch up, marking everything as read, but you could also see a list of all threads that have new activity so you don't miss anything.
They've purposely changed how these forum sites work in order to control us and push their shit on us.
We need to go back to the basics.
