    The Usenet user count has never been higher than it currently is, and it very much is social media. What changed is that AT&T and others stopped including Usenet access as part of your Internet plan several years ago so it got a little harder to get to but not impossible.

      In what universe is Usenet social media? Seriously?

      Usenet is dead. Gone. What remains today is just a shell game of corporate owners. It is nothing like what it used to be.

      Next thing you know you will try and tell me Lemmy is social media.
