@J12t the article claims usenet is decentralized and p2p, which it's not. It's a closed federation - you can't run your own server that is equal to all other servers in the federated. It has nothing P2P (federated is not P2P).

We need real modern alternative for USENET that's open federation and properly federated. Maybe it's over activitypub or Matrix. It could also be bridged with oldschool USENET and web forums.
