    But nntpd is still out there. Rebuilding Usenet will suck. But it’s not impossible. Start from the net2 sites again.

    Old mail RFCs included an instant message channel. I’m sure I saw code in either sendmail or uw-imap for it too.

    I like the fediverse, but the old ways are still valid for their particular payload.

      for chat there’s IRC or bit more modern XMPP.
