I honestly find the reddit-hate on usenet a bit dissapointing. Perhaps
because its the closest thing to usenet, but is not usenet. [snip]
It's true that Reddit is a collection of "subreddits" the way Usenet is a collection of "newsgroups". However, there are certain differences:
1. All subreddits are moderated, which, as anyone who has had to deal with moderated newsgroups knows, is a double-edged sword. Reddit admins also function as site-wide super-moderators and can ban Reddit account.
2. Subreddit moderators have to follow site-wide Reddit content policies, which have been known to change. To quote https://www.redditinc.com/policies/moderator-code-of-conduct , "your subreddit and moderator team can be held accountable for individual moderator actions".
3. Reddit has a "karma" system, which is based on other users upvoting or downvoting your posts and comments. Some subreddits require a certain amount of positive Reddit-wide karma to post and/or to comment. Reddit also requires a certain amount of karma to create new subreddits.
4. Usenet clients are generally more robust than the default Reddit user interface. However, certain add-ons like "Reddit Enhancement Suite" (RES) provide additional functionality which is comparable to and sometimes even superior to what you will find in a typical Usenet client. I find the Reddit Enhancement Suite indispensable -- reading Reddit without it is painful.
5. Usenet newsgroups are hierarchical -- "rec.arts.sf.written" -- which facilitates discovery. Subreddits are less structured.
6. Curiously, Reddit spam is becoming more of an issue now that Large Language Models are better at impersonating humans.
Sounds like "someone" tried to copy or update Usenet to the web. And failed badly.
-- I've done good in this world. Now I'm tired and just want to be a cranky dirty old man.
