^ yep.
Absolute fucktons of.
Paid services have consolidated to a great degree. But I’ve been a long time Easynews subscriber.
They have decent retention, good completion, and are johnny-on-the-spot re. DMCA requests.
Their real claim to fame is an easy to use browser based front end, so no third party client hassles and it works on mobile.
That said, MUCH has changed since the 90s, i.e. encrypted posts, the USENET hierarchy is largely broken and good luck finding any current text discussion (looking at you, Adobe, ya skeevy fucks).
Should you want more, this is a good guide. https://www.cogipas.com/how-to-use-usenet/

Wow! 161 of them! Did not know they did that, thanks 🙏🏻
Suggest subscribing to a premium USENET server.
Actually kinda glad Apollo did go down, because it forced me to reassess that pool of toxicity and GTFO there.
In the US, controversy over extremist material appearing on the site has led to an advertising boycott, a bitter row between Mr Musk and a campaign group, and even…
Please, Lord, let it be true!
questions about whether X could end up going bankrupt.
The article didn’t state that Google had problems responding to LE requests.
Also, Google can have as much capacity as God, whenever they decide to put their will to something.
They also consume data like mortals consume chips, and one bar chart would be all it took for them to address a potential bottleneck, and rising liability, by finally eliminating it.
Uh-huh, because banning shit works so well.
Look no further than Prohibition, or the War on Drugs.
There’s nothing wrong with periods of static or negative economic activity.
In the natural world the only thing I know of that’s always growing, is cancer.
I doubt operational bottlenecks were the issue, more likely the rising volume of requests made Google reassess the policy.
LEOs already press the boundaries of the permissible, and as much as I hate giving props to the big G, good on Google for taking the initiative.
Planned obsolescence on steroids.
Looks like a good time to shitcan Chrome, and take a hard look at any forks built from it.
How is this an improvement for the user?
Wrong question. You should be asking, how is this an improvement for owners and shareholders? There’s money to be made somehow, right?
The urge to LEDify every bloody thing has never made sense to me.
I get having a discreet, physical indicator of activity, but having a USB cable that can light up a wall in a dark room, from LEDs on both ends? Too goddamn common now.

I’m a happy Toyota owner as well.
I pay $15/mo and w/ rollover gigs always have plenty. If you’re looking for obscure or D/C’d content, it’s damn well worth it.
Was able to score a Nordic comedy series for a co-worker that couldn’t be found elsewhere.
Also, content you sideload from USENET doesn’t disappear at the whim of a corporation, or due to licensing shenanigans. Just sayin’.
