    Do you know what's happened to nntp.aioe.org? It's down for a month.
    I'm nntp user since 1995. For some reasons aioe was the best for me.
    I'm very upset. Very.

    There is still free Usenet access:

    https://www.eternal-september.org
    https://rocksolidbbs.org

    A small number of Russians can be found on RockSolid BBS and DoveNet.
    Also check the newsgroup relcom.wheels. It appears to have posts
    exclusively using the Cyrillic alphabet.

    Nobody knows what is happening with AIOE. There is much conjecture but
    nothing from the horse's mouth. Some of the personalities who have
    "died" are likely intelligence assets who have been retired in a hurry.

    There is a great reorganization happening in the Western network of
    state organs and intelligence assets. The COVID fiasco has enraged tens
    of millions of people at the Western governments. The governments are no longer able to distract them with bread and circuses.

    The state has thousands of hired disinformation agents working online at
    all hours to sow disinformation and shut down all valid criticism of government crimes and deception. If you post anything on Usenet that
    gets to the root of corruption the paid trolls will swarm the discussion thread and disrupt it. The same happens on Reddit, Mastodon, Facebook,
    or any other discussion forum.

    Even people in military brass are pushing back against the Philistines
    who have captured the civilian governments. Things are going to get interesting.

    The "war" in Ukraine is a cooperative smokescreen between Moscow and Washington to cover up all the Congressional and CIA money-laundering
    that has been funneled through Ukraine in the last decade. In the fog of
    war all the evidence can be destroyed and all the witnesses killed.
    Their deaths are then chalked up to the "war" which was orchestrated
    well in advance.

    None of the countries in these conflicts are innocent. All of our
    political leaders on all sides are criminal monsters, thieves, liars,
    and murderers. There is no difference between the Russian peasant and
    the American peasant and the Ukrainian peasant. All the peasants are
    enslaved by their evil governments while being fed a diet of propaganda
    from cradle to grave.

    The "masters" in power tell you who your enemy is, then enlist you to do
    their dirty work for them. Slavery is when your rulers tell you which
    enemy you must fight. Freedom is when you decide which enemy to fight.

    Drastvuy!

    Привет. Ну, я и тут могу по-русски писать. But the aioe was the best for
    some reasons. I'm familiar with the servers you mentioned. Spasibo.

    2 years ago somebody started sending mass homosexual spam to
    Australian groups. This had affected the whole USENET.
    Afterwards most of free servers were shut down or converted to
    read only.
    I think this happened to aioe.org finally.

    The RAID did go BOOM and reconstruction seems tricky.

    Is what I got told by the internet...


    1. Hitchhiker 25: (76) "How long?" he said. (77) "Seven and a half
    million years," said Deep Thought. (78) Lunkwill and Fook blinked at
    each other. (79) "Seven and a half million years ...!" they cried in
    chorus.

    news.tambov.ru is back. Enjoy. Less groups than on aioe, but anyway.

    That's a new one to me. lada.photo has fewer car pictures than I
    was expecting, but it could have been worse. :)

    In fact it is 20+ years old. It disappeared recently, then resurected being cut from other nntp network. Now it seems to be working fine. But you are right,
    it have lost 90% of content.
    My conspiratorial idea is: somebody intentionally work on destroying
    USENET.

    I guess it's a bad idea to "bump" threads but here on usenet the
    ettiquete might be a bit different, but yes.

    People (by which I mean one particular being) are now starting to try to
    attack ALL IRC networks in order to try to make people not use IRC, or
    at least make IRC annoy them, making massive pings, ascii art accross
    all of a network's channels, etc...
    So I guess somebody will intentionally work on destroying ANY
    communications system, as communicating with other people is a way to
    join people, thus making it harder to change their minds and think what
    someone wants, as they all will be able to see different viewpoints.

    might be a bit out of date, but from what I know aioe.org was taken
    down by a hardware failure followed by health issues of the admin.
    (and will not be coming back)
