   I am younger than you may think. I'm just using Usenet because I'm a huge   
   retro UNIX nerd. It may be the type, maybe the lack of users, perhaps even   
   some way in which their respective UIs and automations shape user behavior,   
   but retro intercom systems like Usenet or IRC are just way more laid-back   
   and civil compared to modern mainstream social media.
