Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let’s do this! 🤝

Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.

      Usenet was a hierarchical structure for what became the forums. You had a main tree and then separated branches for every argument, for example alt.sports then alt.sports.martialarts then alt.sports.martialarts.karate

      Usenet was text only, very fast with old modems compared to web pages.

      All the files (and piracy stuff) were relegated to alt.binaries

        Thank you for taking the time to explain this, it’s no wonder why the warez scene seems to be so well put together and organized, they have been for a very long time!
