Imogen on Nostr: There was nothing wrong with the underlying technology and methodology of Usenet ...
There was nothing wrong with the underlying technology and methodology of Usenet groups. The issue was unmoderated discussions leading to complete chaos. Arguably Reddit built on this model and attempted to address its shortcomings. Unfortunately the original designers of Reddit fell down the money hole and sold their soul to get rich. Time to bring back Usenet.
I offer equal time for an opposing view.
