@movq@www.uninformativ.de There’s a lot going on on Usenet, but it’s all in alt.binaries and co.

@mckinley@twtxt.net That’s the file sharing stuff, right? I couldn’t care less about that. Frankly, I think it’s a shame that Usenet turned into that. 🫤

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right. I wonder if Usenet would have faded away earlier if it wasn’t for file sharing. It’s only still in use for that because the annoying parts have been papered over with easy-to-use software and the protocol offers unique characteristics that make it almost perfect for that sort of thing.
