Seems some of the mods on /r/usenet went on a power trip and deleted any post they didn’t agree with. A new sub Reddit was created called /r/UsenetTalk and people are abandoning the old one. In my opinion it is better to just move to Lemmy.

You’d think people discussing Usenet would use, you know… Usenet. 🤷🏻♂️
Moderation in this sub has been a huge problem since the prior mod team quit over reddit changes, and nearly every attempt I’ve made to add to the mod team has resulted in drama (justified or not).

It is not quite that new, the other sub has existed for a few years now. Its purpose is to discuss usenet / usenet providers without discussing indexers, automation, or anything like that.

Most of the peeps on Reddit don’t seem to want to move but you can always point them to
!usenettalk@lemmy.sdf.org (if you want the Lemmy community of the same on the other site)
Personally I wouldn’t push people to lemmy.world, the admins here have taken a hard stance against piracy related topics. Not sure if they will end up locking/deleting this community when they realize people may be using usenet to download more than linux isos :P
What’s a reddit? /s
Like seriously, who cares? Why go there when we know it’s a sewer?
