Does anybody regularly read or participate in Usenet? If so, which groups
do you find are worthwhile?
not that easy to find freely accessable newsservers nowdays,
nearly anyone advertising one wants money,
which in turn means I'm not gonna get on 'em

I dug around and found my way back in a year or two ago and it was very
sad. The whole place felt like a graveyard that had been overrun by spam weeds. There were small pockets of people posting here and there, but so
many of the groups were empty. It reminded me of driving through a dead
steel town in the US. Blech.

Sure thay are little known so it is "security by obscurity" but for now
it works.
I follow some of them loosely.
As for servers, I find albasani a bit overloaded and slow. Check out solani.net/solani.org for a good alternative.

Free Usenet access at https://news.aioe.org has been going strong for a
long time. It's a little-known gem.
