I so wanted to post BF 2023 deals here, but I didn't realize that the markdown used here (CommonMark) does not support tables. Please refer to the [post on reddit](https://old.reddit.com/r/UsenetTalk/comments/1813b9t/black_friday_2023/) till I find some kind of workaround.

I get a "No Posts" message on my group. The default sort method is "Active." And mods have no way of modifying group settings to change it to something sensible.
Yet another example of user-hostility in software design with Lemmy. The hit-or-miss nature of syncing across instances is another big irritant.
It is ironical that we talk about usenet everywhere *but* on usenet. Events like the blackout on reddit and the scramble to move to alternate platforms would hardly be necessary if usenet worked clearly as a discussion platform. While everyone blames spam for the slow death of discussions on usenet, I think there are a couple of other reasons: * access over http * searchability These two reasons are why Google Groups continues to work while discussions on usenet barely do. Usenet has to evolve to provide solutions to these problems: * **spam**: moderated groups are an insufficient solution when compared to moderation tools provided by modern discussion platforms. * **usenet over http**: people should be able to carry on discussions using browsers as well as apps. They should be able to share links to these discussions as well. * **search**: people should be able to conduct a search across all discussions by using native as well as third-party search engines (Google, Bing, Brave etc).
