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.

That's interesting, never heard that before. I've been using them for about 2.5 years and got in at €2.99/mo. Maybe my download success could be attributed to the indexers I'm using? I think I was using NewsDemon before that and definitely had some takedown issues.

I think Newsdemon was still on Omacon 2.5 years ago so maybe that was the issue.

If you’ve been following on the Usenet subreddit there has been a lot of info about Omacron being bad. They’ve run off competition and done some shady things with user data. I think they even voluntarily handed it over to the government once for a court case. They own Eweka.
