Nostr

I like the idea of creating an npub for each Usenet account and publishing those posts, maybe even backdated. I don't think you could transfer an account to a person that claims it though because there's no way to transfer a private key beyond being shared with the archive service.

That said, split zaps are a thing so practically it would work out fine if the idea is to receive zaps for your old Usenet gems lol

I would have no way of verifying my old posts, other than the coincidence of a shared name. For anonymous NOSTR users that would be near impossible.

I don’t rate that as an important function however. I’d just like a historical record.

Yeah I feel like anything that is posted to nostr will have a better chance of surviving long term versus trusting someone's server, even if it is Google (who btw is a champion of shutting down things that don't serve current business interests)

Agreed
