    Very different mechanics though. With usenet it's about groups. You follow a group, you get every post to it, spammers make it unusable.

    But with this, there would be no group to follow or spam out of existence. Just one-to-one relationships. So spammers wouldn't have a group to spam, they could only broadcast to those that specifically follow them, and would get unfollowed quite quickly by anyone that doesn't like spam.
