@malcircuit What about an #NNTP based solution? #Usenet is still alive. Serious question.
Alternatively, one could create a separate hierarchy with NNTP as the back end. Only frond ends and apps would need to be written. The protocol is extendable, so it's possible to do new things with it if clients are coded to support the extensions.
@profoundlynerdy@bitbang.social @malcircuit@thingy.social something I've only seen once, in the 00s, but what not Web forum software with an NNTP interface? Seems that could also be a way to do federated sections for forums (much like BBSs in the 90s with a combination of local and fidonet based discussion sections).
