• 3rd RfD: Mass-deletion of moderated groups without a moderator (misc.ac

    From Big-8 Management Board@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 14 19:31:18 2025
    Please be advised that in news.groups.proposals there is an ongoing
    Request for Discussion (RFD) to remove 99 moderated newsgroups,
    including the following one(s) that may be of interest to readers of
    this notice:

    misc.activism.progressive

    These groups have long been derelict due to the lack of a moderator.

    If any readers of this notice are willing to serve as moderator for
    any of these groups, and have the technical infrastructure to do so,
    they are encouraged to contact the Big-8 Management Board by replying
    by e-mail to this message. The Board is happy to advise prospective
    moderators on the technical and procedural requirements.

    To learn more about the RFD to remove these groups, and to contribute
    to the discussion, please refer to the article in
    news.groups.proposals with a similar subject as this one: <news:[email protected]>

    Comments on the RFD should take place in news.groups.proposals as
    this is the only place the Board is guaranteed to monitor the
    discussion. In particular, please do not post a follow-up *here* to
    *this* article, as we are unlikely to see your reply.

    I think the thinking is backwards
    Control freak Moderators killed the usenet
    I can manage my kill files well enough thank you
    Just as the schoolmarmish desire to "curate" the social networks killed them
    I had been off facebook 2021-2025 and I find one third of my old
    "friends" are still there. I really dread using facebook.

    And while you are at it, since Goon Ghule betrayed its Deja News franchise,
    it should give it up to archive.org
