>>52918163

>>Usenet
because fuck the moderators

The only reasonable item on this list to question is usenet, considering its 99% binaries and even that isn't all that useful with the crazy rate of DMCA takedowns these days.

The rest is all amazing, get out.

>>52918270
>99% binaries
That's the point, nowadays.

Besides it's FAST as hell.

>>52918380
But DMCA takedowns are crazy these days, you can't get anything without automated downloading

Get the same speeds off a seedbox for about the same cost, but don't have to deal with DMCAs

>2016
>image board
Why??!??!

>>52918401
Not all servers comply with DMCA, allegedly.

>abandoning things that work perfectly for the sake of progress

>>52918440
Even using multiple providers as backups I've run into issues lately, but I often want older/more obscure stuff, so maybe that's a bigger problem than usenet itself

What is RSS good for?
I've tried to get news this way but it just end up as a spambox.
A long time ago I figured out how to get my youtube subs there, but I lost the address and webcomics was all I evr usd it for.
Any tips?

>>52918485
Realize that the news you get is going to depend on the feeds you choose, it only ended up as a spambox because you chose to subscribe to spam

Use it to follow updates on websites you like

>>52918083

What the fuck superseded email?

>>52918083
>>Email
I'm not in a rush to have a response or I want some evidence that a certain operation took place.
>>Usenet
Isn't it just another way of sharing files and posting shit? ed2k and other networks are still active too. Whats wrong with them?
>>IRC
Literally the best way to chat IMO. No need for bullshit clients and I can even use over SSH. Nearly all projects woth caring about have a IRC channel so you can get easily get help.
>>RSS
Lets me bypass bullshit website designs and use a lightweight native application instead of the massive browsers we have today.
>>SMS
I won't miss this.

How do I into usenet? My ISP shut down their server years ago.

it just weeks ®

What the fuck is wrong with SMS ? It allows to send instant messages without needing some shitty app or even an internet connection

Wat? isn't usenet like discussion forum? What binaries?

Think about that, what I said

Oh cool, thats great

>>52919372
>Think about that, what I said
no

>>52918083
lets stop using the wheel because its literally 2016

>>52919410
>Implying sms is as fundamentally perfect as a wheel.

>Email
Most websites you sign up for require an email. It's better to use an email address, which is anonymous, than a real address.

>IRC
Platform-agnostic chatroom with good support for encryption, and bots if necessary. What would you suggest we use instead, Skype?

>SMS
Pretty much everyone who has a cell phone has SMS, and most likely gets unlimited SMS messages. If you want to get in contact with someone who has a cell phone, and you don't want to call them, SMS is the best way to get in touch with them.

Although I'm welcome to hear your proposed alternatives.

There's no reason to replace any of these.

If you can't find out how to Usenet from Google then you don't get to use Usenet

>>52918473

Usenet went to shit years ago when major providers went ahead with automatic take downs.

The internet is an archive anons.

>>52918485

You can get full on with it and create all kinds of filters. Too complicated to explain in one go or learn in one step its a skill you need to build.

However as shit as the media is these days the ability to curate your own is priceless.

>>52919282

Usenet can share text documents but its mainly used to share pirated material by normies. Basically its just a series of server storing file you can search and pull from.

Just because one guy made a progressive pull request, it does not make it an SJW site

>>52918083
why not?
are there any better alternatives?

>>52918485
I use it for watching slow blogs, porn artist blogs, and web comics. Occasionally I'll follow a git repo as well
