    Maybe usenet will rise from the ashes if we lose our right to free
    speech....

    I don't think it will need that to give it a nudge.

    BBS message areas are doing very nicely off the back of a general
    resurgence of interest in that hobby.

    Perhaps Usenet (as it was in the 80s and 90s) is just waiting to be rediscovered?

    Hopefully by more than just people who seem to post endless political
    stuff.
