Seems some of the mods on /r/usenet went on a power trip and deleted any post they didn't agree with. A new sub Reddit was created called /r/UsenetTalk and people are abandoning the old one. In my opinion it is better to just move to Lemmy.

Well, the best instances for usenet people is here, https://discuss.tchncs.de or https://lemmy.dbzer0.com Both are incredibly welcoming. I understand people love what they're familiar with, but the future is now. At least give them the choice.

People already mentioned Lemmy, no one joined, also the mod this Usenet lemmy group hasn't posted anything in a year.

@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com can we move the community to your instance?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Ye no need to ask me. So long as you don't invite bigots in, we're good.

[–] brickfrog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It already exists !usenet@lemmy.dbzer0.com

The tricky part is getting people to use it, for now most people seem to be fine using the general !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com community even for usenet.

Nice. Let's try and get some activity over there.

If the !piracy community is not that busy, is that an issue? There will always be time to redirect people to !usenet once it gets too busy

Piracy is relatively busy. But not at the point that people need to be redirected.
