Is usenet a server in lemmy? Or a sep platform all together?

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Usenet is a network communication system developed in the early 1980s. Way older than Lemmy, older than even the world wide web.

It still runs to this day, but much like moss isely it's a hive of scum and villainy.

I'm sure there's some holdout discussions still happening there, but it's mostly binary postings for piracy nowadays
