53 days until google cuts the cord

[D]

53 days until google cuts the cho... err..cord, will be decommissioned,
disabled, disconnected, deactivated, dismantled, shut down, turned off,
put aside, unplugged, inoperative, unavailable, mothballed, disallowed,
taken down, phased out, gone kaput, consigned to the annals of history,
blocked, nixed, ixnayed, etcetera . . . countdown to usenet armageddon?

what went wrong with Usenet Google Groups
flooded with Thai marketing spam in 2023 ?

I was not a good idea to let Google to acquire DejaNews in the past

Is there is a demand to have a forum geared specifically for unwashed
trolls and spammers where the only post allowed will be spam, insults
and conspiracy theories to keep users' mum happy that their only bastard
child is very busy spamming user groups. Let me know so that I can create such a forum for them.
