  • New Subreddit Created: r/ClassicUsenet

    From Jason Evans@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 19 08:06:59 2022
    I just created the r/ClassicUsenet Subreddit. I'm looking to build a
    community on Reddit and to foster the small community that exists already
    on Usenet.

    Hey, this seems like a good time to mention my reddit NNTP gateway,
    it lets you read subreddits in your newsreader :)

    Great idea! I've just subscribed and will soon join the discussion
    there. We've seen several attempts at a Usenet revival, none of which
    really succeeded. I'm interested in bringing awareness to a wider
    audience and Reddit seems like a good place to do so.

    OK, this is a cool idea. I've always thought that web forums were a bit
    clunky compared to a good Usenet client, so this is the best of both.

    Thanks for setting up the new subreddit, Jason - I'll check it out and subscribe :)
