You're technically correct, but aren't Usenet gateways a bit out of date? I thought Usenet was primarily used for, eh distributing linux isos these days.

I made a bidirectional gateway to/from the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LysKOM protocol (based on the design of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KOM_(BBS)) back when Netscape included a decent Usenet client. It worked surprisingly well since Usenet has robust support for threading.

(Your Swedish-sounding username inspired me, everyone else: sorry.)
