Hello there,
I wanted to ask which are the most readable and interesting newsgroups
on the net. I have been looking though a lot of them and found a few,
but I guess there will never be too many readers in any of them. Some
of them are just ghost towns and have been for a while.
That's why I wanted to ask if there are any special favorites anybody
has that are generally readable as well.
Yes, I am quite aware this is a stupid question, but well...before the
group lies dormant even longer...

Here's a thought: If you have something on topic to write, post it. You

can't know the group is dead unless you try. Groups die because Usenet
users CHOOSE not to post.
Maybe someone will post a followup.

Lots of the groups I used to like are dead or near-dead. I wonder if
spam played a big role. Some of them died very quickly for some
reason.

Spam plays no role. Counter-spam measures are implemented server-wide,

not on a per-group basis. Either your server implements counter-measures,
or it hasn't.
Again: Stop waiting for other people to entertain you. Post something on
topic. Maybe someone else will post a followup. It's your fault, along with
other former regulars, that a particular group has no discussion in it. All
of you collectively chose to stop posting, waiting for others to go first.

That I did notice. The last time I tried to get into usenet I had to
filter the hell out of some groups until there finally were some actual
posts. Right now I barely see anything like that.
Of course I don't see many posts either, so I guess it got kind of
quite here.
But it's fascinating. I posted in a group in which I never saw a single
post all the other times I ventured there (rec.games.frp.misc) and it
turns out that people do actually read it.

subscribing to low-volume groups. It's just another on my list.
Unlike with a web forum, where I have to make effort to check it for
new posts, I can keep monitoring a Usenet group with no effort on my
part.

earlier. The problem is that empty groups in this case clutter the
screen too much.
I don't really know how it is with terminal clients because I haven't
used them much yet, but it's mildly annoying for my desires of
efficiency to see most of the groups with 0 mails.
By the way, what newsreaders are you using?

wonderfully). Space is not an issue since it's a GUI and my group list
scrolls as needed, not getting in the way.

It will only show a news group if a new post has arrived.
Has excellent tools for putting topics, subject, users,... in a kill
file so they do not bother me.

Hi John,
I've been doing research on this and it appears this is one of the best
places, at least so far. Check out nntp.aioe.org, but beware that on
other servers there are a number of groups where people are selling
drugs and doing illegal stuff. I'd recommend avoiding the Google groups
as well as there doesn't seem to be much recent activity, if at all.
I've heard banana split is another one, but haven't gotten a chance to
explore it yet.
I also noticed someone started posting messages signed with PGP, but
their key appears to be outdated and won't import into my keychain. If
everyone could do that, especially on newsgroups, it would be a safer
place. However, you'd have to verify it outside of Thunderbird or
whatever client you use. If you're technical enough, copy and paste this
message into TextEdit or a text-only editor and save it, then use the
command line tools to find my fingerprint and verify my signature. When
you do, you'll see it matches my name and email address on here too!

bullshit signature, 'cuz, you know, in followup, it failed to directly
address anything. The double posting didn't make it doubly genuine.

Some of you could tell that was a sockpuppet without verifying the
signature.
But some of you didn't.
Now a sockpuppet is always a sockpuppet of somebody.
Could some of you tell now who is the person behind Adam Snetiker?
And if some of you could do that will some of you actually do it?

What if the signature were verifiable? What difference would that make?

For my question, none.
If the signature is verifiable none of you could tell whose sockpuppet
he is.
If the signature is not verifiable none of you could tell whose
sockpuppet he is.
If the signature is verifiable none of you could tell whose sockpuppet
he is.
If the signature is not verifiable none of you could tell whose
sockpuppet he is.

So you know he is a sockpuppet but cannot tell whose sockpuppet he is.
In the meantime he uses the email address of
https://expertdojo.com/members/ajsnetikergmail-com/profile/
That would be an infringement on the rules of eternal-september if he
really were a sockpuppet.
