Why did Usenet fail?
#reddit #usenet #lemmy

Recently I've seen at attempts to ressurect & promote Usenet.

Here is what I think about it in 2025.
- Lack of web gateways.
- lack of web clients
- There are few web "archives" that are just filled with spam & flood from 2000's
- lack of high quality discussions, content
- no bridges with different protocols
- obsure, outdated architecture and design. in era of zeronet

And other reasons listed in article below, that's also why people won't use web forums that are not part of wider network (such as #lemmy #activitypub #fediverse etc )
