    I don't mean to be rude, but why?

    We have Usenet, right here, with great software to make use of it. Why
    fragment old and now little Usenet?

    It would make more sense to develop software for Usenet (a search
    engine?), or spend the time in marketing Usenet; from my humble point of
    view.

    Simply put, I created RootBadger because modern social media is a
    mess, and Usenet, while still interesting, has become troll heaven for
    a lot of people.

    I wanted to build something with the spirit of Usenet, but without all
    the garbage that drove people away. A place with topic-based groups,
    threaded discussions, and a more old-school Internet feel, but
    presented as a modern social platform.
