Centralization, need to have a big commercial provider which you can pay (as someone in Russia ...).

How does that apply to this comment of yours?

In Usenet messages are replicated over all services offering that newsgroup. I hope the downsides are clear.

That's not centralization - unless you also consider the fediverse centralized?

That puts limits on scaling it. Fediverse - honestly too centralized for my taste.
