I once saw a post on Reddit advertising novabbs, just saying "Check this
out, it's a Usenet web forum"
That thread got locked and the mod comment was something like "Don't post links to sites that are illegal. The admin is breaking the TOS of his news server by letting people post on his site.
I posted that I'm the admin of novabbs and I'm also the admin of the news server, so I'm not breaking any rules.
That got me banned, lol :)

It's like some people look up USENET, read the Wikipedia page, see the
"Legal issues" section, then freak out.

Sadly most redditors don't even know IRC. Ditto with 'hackernews'.
For them, it only exists IRC and Discord/Slack. They don't even
or want know about Jabber.

It's been called XMPP since the early 2000s and although I don't know of anyone who actually *uses* it, any time there's an online discussion of
newer federated chat systems like Matrix, you end up with a handful of posters bursting in to talk about how XMPP was totally better once you installed the appropriate grab-bag of extensions.

Nice, I used to use Skype.

Was there /any/ media attention? I don't remember hearing about it until
I joined.
