In the early days the internet was a free, egalitarian space for anyone to surf. Now, commercial interests rule – but users do still have some control.

Usenet was the best.
- Still is 😉
  
  I don't really know. For text based discussion, I prefer something like Lemmy, also due to better moderation tools etc. It's a cool early thread-based discussion tool, but mostly outdated.
  Unfortunately, there is absolutely zero other use for it, and nobody should ever bother, it's wasted time.
  
  😁there are now binary files to be found there as well 😉
  
  No, there is nothing, and any investigation by copyright holders wouldn't lead to anything. Trying to get anything out of usenet today is futile.
