I know if you mention some indexers or Usenet provider in r/Usenet
the message will be automatically removed by moderator bot. Since
we’re not moderated over here I was wondering if anyone can tell me
about them. I’m more interested in banned Usenet providers. Allegedly
they are using “backdoored” access to the Usenet.
It's a fair question, r/usenet isn't a forum for questions anymore so-much as a searchable archive of curated content. The mods are
quick to remove any posts breech of their rules - https://snew.notabug.io/r/usenet I know Speedium is one of the providers they have banned from being discussed.
So yeah, it's a long way of saying that Reddit's "upvote" system coupled
with heavy moderation really created a conducive environment for echo chambers to form. At least with unmoderated USENET, the moderation is up
to the user and while that is a bit of work, it doesn't prevent alternative viewpoints to show up and be discussed.

I've found this to be a general trend in upvote-dynamic based
sites. It's prominent on Reddit, but certainly not the only place.
