Yeah, I know Usenet (been a moderate user for a few years), but I was under 
the impression that USENET is built more like GNU Social than Twister. I.e. 
the default mode of operation is users using servers that communicate with 
each other, rather than a truly peer to peer distributed system.

This is related to how easy or hard it is to set-up an instance (GNU Social: 
needs some work and sysadmin knowledge; Twister: just run it, you're done). 
Obviously I can run my own personal GNU Social instance for myself only, but 
that's not the default (nor very sane) way of doing things there.

Anyway, I'll look into it as I said. Thanks.
