is Usenet making a comeback? -- (3 Signs of growth)
3 Signs of growth:
There are indications of renewed interest in Usenet in recent years.
This is attributed to several factors, including:
(1) Disillusionment with mainstream social media: Users seeking
more privacy and less censorship might find Usenet appealing.
(2) Niche appeal: Usenet thrives in specific areas like file
sharing and technical discussions due to its decentralized nature and
large historical archive.
(3) Improved accessibility: Modern Usenet providers offer
user-friendly interfaces and easier access compared to the past.

And who defines Aliens, lunatics and Terrorists?
The last thing Usenet needs is to turn into some fully moderated forum. How
would you do that anyway? Moderation on Usenet is "Difficult by Design"

Usenet's USP is that it is the last bastion of free speech,*

decentralised, uncensorable, owned by nobody but served by many.
Moderation and free speech are mutually incompatible. Yes, there is
bad behaviour, that's the way the world is. Learn to use a killfile and
you'll be fine.
