Yeah, but that’s not what I was referring to. I know Usenet is nowadays mainly used for sharing “massive amounts of multimedia content”, but I was referring to the text-based content. Discussions, stories, proposals. Yes, I have seen all that on Usenet. I am that old. I’m not being nostalgic here, but when I think of the pre-spam Usenet, it might be what we need again. Maybe with a more modern UI? Lemmy, maybe? A federated forum system like Reddit, 4chan? Does that exist at all? A web UI which shows threads from all kinds of servers all together in a phpBB-like interface?

Web UIs exist with a variety of interface styles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web-based_Usenet#Web-based_sit... . The now-defunct novaBBS was probably the closest to phpBB in style, but the new go-pugleaf is aiming in a similar direction.
