Maybe there were days when all Usenet servers had all hierarchies. I’m probably too young.

In a way, Lemmy is essentially a reimplementation of Usenet. Decentralized, federated forums.

Usenet was never really “federated”. All servers mirror slightly different hierarchies (with the free ones usually focusing on text and the commercial ones focusing on binary files).

What server do you use?

I’ve been a happy user of Eternal September (the name alone was awesome enough!) for quite some time now.

I still use it as forums. That’s what it can do best.

How is it Microsoft’s fault that the LibreOffice team fails to properly support its formats? Others can do it.

However, in direct comparison with SoftMaker Office (which, admittedly, is not free software), LibreOffice is inconsistent, sluggish, unstable and less compatible with Microsoft formats.

I wish Usenet wasn‘t misunderstood as a file sharing network anymore.
