What would it take to show the current internet generation that what they really want is usenet? It's impossible to alter a usenet post after it's been sent out. It's decentralized, uncensored, has no economic interests of a company to consider, and no worry of going away when the company calls it quits. It's everything your average redditor wants.

Because spam-filtering and moderation are useful forms of censorship that keep communities alive. In the US, I need to at least be able to remove child pornography (and other illegal content) so that the FBI doesn't come after me.
