How is nntp non-scalable? It allows an infinite number of servers connected in a tiered network, where you only have to connect to a few other peers and carry whatever part of the traffic you want. Binaries broke USENET. That has little to do with nntp. nntp is still working just fine and still carrying a few discussion groups here and there. And you have a really nice mailling list gateway at news.gmane.io (which recently replaced gmane.org - see https://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/2020/01/15/news-gmane-org-is-now-news-gmane-io/ for full story) Bjørn
