Does anyone use this group anymore?

Is it a good place to discuss web based newsreaders like squte.com, narkive.com
etc?

They don't need an NNTP connection to work. One reason people use offline readers
is if they are sometimes behind firewalls or use WiFi hotspots that block the usual
NNTP ports.
This group seems pretty dead otherwise.
