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

Everything had spam problems 😅

[–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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

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

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.
