How did we move from usenet to forums?

Browsers and the internet protocols were pretty sweet, man

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Didn't usenet also have a lot of spam problems associated with it?

[–] db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Everything had spam problems 😅

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Good point, spam always has been and always will be an issue.

[–] marx2k@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes. Still does. Though blocking Google groups cuts down on most of it

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah I've heard the spam problems have gotten worse these days but I always knew people complained about that because many of the services just didn't moderate spam.
