We’ve had plenty of questions about what people miss from reddit that Lemmy had, or what they hope doesn’t come to Lemmy from reddit in future, but do you miss from the earlier days, before reddit that you would like to come back?

USENET. Actually useful USENET.
Is USENET still useful? I haven’t used it in over a decade and I hope it’s still around, but I would be kinda shocked if it’s still relevant.
I still have an account. It is still useful for grabbing binary content like TV shows and movies, but that takes a lot of setup.
What I really miss are the discussions. There, it’s not as useful as it once was. All the groups still exist, but many are overrun by spam. It would be nice to see a solution that makes USENET actually useful again.
