I still maintain that Usenet was the original 'reddit/digg'. And the webapps competitors have tried to cater, and fail.

I'd rather see a newer Usenet protocol... Say something that also integrates with the Fediverse. But there's no "money" for open protocols, even though companies again and again try to emulate "Usenet, but profitized".

This feels like a longer tail of the image hosting problem, btw.
