If an average normie hears "Usenet" and types it into google/ddg/bing,
they mostly get AI-generated sludge or "how to download movie from
binary groups" takes.
great PR for a network that's way more than that...

What we don't have is a decent, up-to-date place for the basics:
- how to configure a news/mail client in 2026 (not a guide from 2009),
- how remailers actually work in practice,
- how to post anonymously without relying on vague "trust me bro"
lore,
- servers: what the most popular ones are, which are read-only,
which require an account, and which let you post without one

and: which groups still have signal and culture, and which ones are
pure spam pits.

We need an "awesome usenet" list: curated links + short notes, not a
link dump. Like: setup guides, privacy/anon posting
(remailers/PGP/header hygiene), tools/projects, and a human-written
group directory (what's good, what to avoid, why).

Also there are cool usenet-related projects out there, but they barely
escape the Usenet bubble. Nobody boosts them on the Fediverse etc, so
they stay invisible. A solid list would help discovery a lot.
