A few years ago I subscribed for a few months, but didn’t dive too deep. Is there still a social aspect to usenet these days or is it just file sharing? It would be great to find forums and such.
It’s almost 100% file sharing these days. Something I greatly lament. The entry barrier seems like it’s just too high these days. That could probably be fixed with better client software, but it would also require a willingness for folks to get on board with a “dead” platform. Lemmy growing as much as it has was nutty. I’m not sure that could happen again
