On: Ask HN: Is it time to resurrect a Usenet clone?

[scrame]

how many accounts do you have require an email address for contact / verification?

would authy or okta be better? they for sure require an email address.

would a decentralized usenet that requires me to be bob jones/125 nonce st/cleveland be better for me the user or.. whatever the hell this proposal is?

Why should I send my passport or birth certificate to some random server on the internet?

fighting spam is an issue that I addressed in my first comment.

Hmm, not sure my intention came across properly in my short comment.

I meant to say, why don’t we build social media on top of email? It’s a protocol we already use for everything.
