Sure, #elinks isn't built for the modern web, but it serves a purpose. I use #aerc for email, #senpai for irc, #iamb for matrix chat, #slrn for newsgroups and message boards, #ncspot for Spotify, #mpg123 for local media or online radio, and #rbw for my bitwarden client. I really don't need much else. It's not a machine I rely on for serious tasks, but it's covered most of my daily needs. Best of all, without a GUI, it's blazing fast!
I've been enjoying some time on #gopher and #gemini as well.

@pedro #Usenet is using a rather old (but very cool) protocol: #NNTP
It had its high time approx. 90s to mid 00s. I *very* much enjoyed it.
It ticks all the boxes when it comes to #federation and freedom of interface: a number of web-based services, CLI tools like #slrn (mine), #Thunderbird and other GUI-tools.

I hope it'll get popular again so that people who care could forget all web-based #forums including #lemmy:

@mos_8502 I very much welcome a revival of the #Usenet!
This is my preferred fall-back, when #reddit, #HN, #Slashdot and others finally aren't useable any more.
Maybe I'll even think of switching my decade-old (but very fine) #slrn setup to Gnus or another #Emacs-based workflow if I can find out how to sync my state across multiple machines... 🤔

@rss feeds on #usenet <3 with #slrn on the #hispagatos usenet server, part of the new usenet with no binaries, only plain text, no spam, no google only hobbiest, hackers, tinkers and awesome people.

@douglawlor I’ve been using #slrn, but haven’t looked into tin or nn.
#Thunderbird still supports #Usenet too.

@ewdocparris Usenet. I was there mostly in the ‘97-‘02 era. It was awesome. I had a #FreeBSD machine at the time. I used #slrn for my client. I would love to have that again.
-
@craigbro @terhechte I'd prefer a general foo-to-NNTP gateway for #reddit #Mastodon and such services.
This way, not only users of #GNUS would profit!

@jackbaty @dekkzz76 @nathell @worldsendless In my personal life, I'm using #mutt with #vim (and #slrn, #zsh, screen->#tmux) since decades on a server. Only my business #MUA (#evolution) is installed on my business host. See also https://karl-voit.at/apps-I-am-using/ #PIM #email

Every new social media platform makes me miss #slrn a little bit more.

@eludom Agreed; algorithms as the big corporate sites have implemented them are pretty bad. But really, 20 years ago #slrn and other #Usenet readers had scorefiles that let you adjust the score of a post by various pattern matching. It was reasonably effective. Current Mastodon filtering is primitive in comparison. Something that's user-controlled would be nice.

https://www.aioe.org/ Is another #usenet #nntp free/public server that resides in Europe, is as good as http://www.eternal-september.org/ a good cli GNU/Linux client #slrn recomended groups: comp.infosystems.gemini comp.lang.c alt.2600 alt.2600.hope comp.os.linux.security I'm working to add comp.lang.go and comp.lang.rust (this a bit after)

Boy, I miss the times when I had a properly configured #slrn with a killfile.
*plonk* seems the appropriate thing to do for certain misc@ users.
