I agree with you that Reddit basically overlaps this area, but I don't think access to Usenet is easy these days (ignoring paid services that are optimized for downloading files).

Although if anyone knows good servers (ISPs no longer seem to offer them) or even better a way to connect own server to Usenet, I'm interested.

There are still a few servers that allow one to access usenet to access text based groups without a monthly fee. Barring that, you can access usenet newsgroups via Google Groups (groups.google.com), but only via HTTP.
