  • RSS and blogs, news vs. social media
  • XMPP vs. WhatsApp/FB messenger/Snapchat
  • IRC vs. Matrix, Teams, Discord etc.
  • Forums vs. Social media, Reddit, Lemmy(?)

    Usenet use to be great. Predated forums and Reddit. Frankly the threadiverse is just now going a bit back to that concept.

      I miss the days when usenet was a standard part of most ISPs included offerings.

      Hopefully the fediverse can get wnought traction to grow some vibrant communities like we used to enjoy in heyday of the old newsgroups.
