  • Google is throwing in the towel

    From Idlehands@21:1/5 to All on Thu Dec 14 21:50:15 2023
    Google Groups ending support for Usenet
    If you work with Usenet groups in Google Groups, support for these
    groups is ending soon.

    https://support.google.com/groups/answer/11036538?visit_id=638382121371600439-1361429638&p=usenet&rd=1

    Looks like the spammers will have to ply their trade elsewhere!

    Well, at least google will stop being the primary source of usenet spam.

    Perhaps then this can go back to a proper discourse platform in the new
    year!

    All we have to do is teach the Google users how to use a reader and
    where to find a news service....

    Group is
    not going anywhere. Plenty of other places to access it.

    E-S is building a web access to his news server.
