Usenet is unmoderated. Once you post it, it sticks forever. We could probably get one of the independent providers to give free access to a new newsgroup. Anyone have any thoughts?

I’ve used Usenet for my content needs for years because it’s so fast and risk free. I think we could also use it for our community discussions.

Well, why not go back to BBS then ? I'd be happy to host a server

OMG... we need a federated BBS.

Do you mean a BBS that could communicate with the Fediverse via the Activitypub protocol? Not sure if your post was a joke, but it might be doable lol. Synchronet is open source, and if someone is willing to get their hands dirty, it can be done.

I was serious. Conceptually it makes a lot of sense to do, I've thought about a number of CLI clients, but like a federated BBS from someone with the experience to do it right would be... just... chef's kiss

I'm of the wrong era. I got the tail-end of using them and wasn't developing until well into the WWW days.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but someone wrote a TUI for Lemmy: https://github.com/mrusme/neonmodem
