Is that seamless? Can you directly reply to a posting? Easy to set up? How?

That the traditional usenet is dying, isn't surprising. It will be
replaced by sozial networks, which offer far more features for sozial
networking.

But that is something different from having a dedicated news server
for a technological project like news.gentoo.org. However that would
make only sense, if it is fully synchronized with the existing lists.
Else it would lead to an unnecessary split of the userbase.
