Remembering Usenet - The OG Social Network that Existed Even Before the World Wide Web

Before Reddit, before GitHub, and even before the World Wide Web went online, there was Usenet.
Usenet is one of the oldest computer network communications systems still in widespread use, created to be the network for the general public - before the general public even had access to the Internet.
Usenet was the first social network. It was chaotic, imperfect, and sometimes frustrating, but it was also a place where real work got done and real connections were made.
Topics were many; if you could imagine a topic, there was probably a group made for it and, if a group didn't exist, one could be made.
Each group owner could - and usually did - set their own rules. Failing to follow the group's culture and etiquette could lead to a “flaming.”
Usenet's structure - decentralized, threaded, and open - can be seen as the first demonstration of the values of open-source development.
Usenet became an essential platform for code collaborating, bug tracking, and intellectual exchange,
As the internet evolved, Usenet use has been fading, but it still holds rich archives that contain detailed discussions, insights, questions and answers, and snippets of code.
Usenet was a place where knowledge was freely shared, and the seeds of ideas could grow into something great.
As Linux fans, we owe a lot to Usenet. Without it, Linux might have remained a small hobby project instead of becoming the force of computing that it has become.
