    I found myself nostalgic for usenet this morning, there are still a few active groups. There's a flamewar on comp.theory that's been running for over a year. 😅

        There are a few free ones so long as you don't care about binaries (I don't), some just require a token fee to avoid spammers.

        If you work hard enough, you can make one of these disclosure threads go that long. Happy to donate mine!

        Reddit's just like Usenet, except instead of being distributed and unmanaged, it's centralised and provides income to its owners.
