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.

OMG... we need a federated BBS.

Do you mean a BBS that could communicate with the Fediverse via the Activitypub protocol?

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

I see no reason why activitypub couldn’t work on Telnet tbh

Big oof... can't we use something better than telnet? ;)
