    A web forum is far better in most cases

    It’s sad when a web forum is better than the tool you’re considering. Bumps, aggressive garbage collection, no Resurrection, it’s weird.

    I’m old, I guess. I miss NNTP, mainly for the archived posts I could discuss with the authors for an updated take or revised solution or some clarification. And yes, I know there’s a good webUI front-end for an NNTP server as a back-end. ;-)

      On the bright side:

      Aggressive garbage collection and automatic thread locking are optional settings in most web forum software I’ve seen.

      Lemmy shares some of the important parts of Usenet, and could develop into something that comes close.
