How did we move from usenet to forums?

Browsers and the internet protocols were pretty sweet, man

Didn't usenet also have a lot of spam problems associated with it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes. Still does. Though blocking Google groups cuts down on most of it

Yeah I've heard the spam problems have gotten worse these days but I always knew people complained about that because many of the services just didn't moderate spam.

Everything had spam problems 😅

Good point, spam always has been and always will be an issue.
