me: ordinals pass the bar for rough consensus and running code, you can do as you please with your sats, there are no protocol police
also me: the decline of usenet began when users figured out how to use it to store data

One big difference was Usenet had no block size limit.
You could post anything you could uuencode.
The other big difference is you directly pay for blockspace.
4MB is still OK it means 200GB a year in the worst case . I still think a fork to limit it to 2MB could be Nice.
Every now and then I post to Usenet. Enlightener CS fellow on comp.lang.c
