Usenet is unmoderated. Once you post it, it sticks forever. We could probably get one of the independent providers to give free access to a new newsgroup. Anyone have any thoughts?

I’ve used Usenet for my content needs for years because it’s so fast and risk free. I think we could also use it for our community discussions.

Couldn't we all move to i2p by similar logic?

i2p seems very rudimentary for piracy imo even though it has been around a long time (I have only recently ventured into the realm of i2p, so forgive me, and let me know if I am wrong)

If you are referring to the availability of torrents and people seeding compared to the regular web I think you might be right.

That said from what I've read you don't need a VPN when torrenting over i2p
