Anyone still using Usenet newsgroups?
Read [this Register article](https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/30/usenet_revival/) today and was wondering if anyone here still use Usenet newsgroups? And if so, what are your top recommended newgroups to subscribe to?

Yes, 30s, USA (Midwest)

My first car I got when I was 16 was a manual transmission so I learned on that.

There’s a book I read a few years ago named “Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging” that delvs into this a bit and why humans are so tribal instinctively. Would highly recommend.

XephertoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•With usernames omitting the full address of a username in posts (in most applications), won't impersonation be a massive issue on Lemmy?

Ahh, that makes sense I suppose. Still would be nice to know the home instance at a glance somehow.

XephertoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was the main reason you left Reddit?

Death of the 3rd party apps. I used to use BaconReader but switched to Sync for Reddit a couple of years ago. Both way above and beyond the official reddit app that’s full of bloat and ads (unless you pay for gold).

They really just didn’t seem like they were going to bring the functionality of a lot of the 3rd party apps so I can’t see myself using their official app long term.

Oh, plus the Sync dev said he is creating an app for Lemmy, which I had never heard of before this, so that’s how I found myself here!
