Tin. I am still using it and many other text mode programs today. :P
I started using Usenet when I was in High School. I had a tech savvy
friend who introduced me to it.

Hey same, but I just stumbled into it.

How does one _stumble upon_ Usenet in 2024? Especially the text
newsgroups. It's such a tiny, outdated community, and the learning
curve -compared to other networks- is much higher; you have to find
(and sign up for) an NNTP host, get the software, configure the
software... It's just far more effort than most people would ever
bother to perform for what is, essentially, the same experience you'd
get from Reddit or any web-forum.

What makes somebody one day say, "Hey, I've heard about this Usenet
thing, I think I'll look into it?" when there are so many easier -and
arguably more rewarding- options?
