Trying to find some life on the Usenet (2020)
This isn't trolling, genuine question from someone who joined the internet after Usenet was already gone:<p>I keep seeing people wanting to build distributed this and distributed that. According to Wikipedia, usenet was already distributed. Why did it die?<p>Edit: follow-up question, what about freenet? Are they the same thing? Are they different, compatible, implementations of the same protocol? Are they incompatible but share some properties? Etc
