Average people seem to want Slack or Discord a lot more than NNTP
servers.  I think an explanation for this is in part psychological but
also a matter of training.  NNTP is a lot more focused on writing than
Slack or Discord, say.  People are not well-trained in writing, so
perhaps they can't quite distinguish good writing from bad writing.
It's also psychological.  Posting a message and not knowing if the other
part has read it at all is too frightening for most people: it doesn't
alleviate their feeling of loneliness either.  (And it's terrible for
the typical work, which is more involved with the notion that people are
doing something than actually getting it done.)

I think NNTP, however, is the better tool for people who do work with
writing such as thinkers of all sorts---programmers, writers,
scientists.  These are people who prefer not to be distracted by
Christmas trees and know how to operate a computer.
