Usenet is unmoderated. Once you post it, it sticks forever. We could probably get one of the independent providers to give free access to a new newsgroup. Anyone have any thoughts?

I’ve used Usenet for my content needs for years because it’s so fast and risk free. I think we could also use it for our community discussions.

    I was serious. Conceptually it makes a lot of sense to do, I’ve thought about a number of CLI clients, but like a federated BBS from someone with the experience to do it right would be… just… chef’s kiss

    I’m of the wrong era. I got the tail-end of using them and wasn’t developing until well into the WWW days.

        Pretty close, at least with the UI, and deffo something that looks extensible (it works for various platforms). I could absolutely see using this as a launching point to a BBS with Forum, other doors would have to come later.

        Oooooh and It’s GNU licensed so I could actually use some of that code…
