Google Groups ending support for Usenet
If you work with Usenet groups in Google Groups, support for these groups is ending soon.
What’s changing?
Starting on February 22, 2024, you can no longer use Google Groups (at groups.google.com) to post content to Usenet groups, subscribe to Usenet groups, or view new Usenet content. You can continue to view and search for historical Usenet content posted before February 22, 2024 on Google Groups.

Another vote for eternal-september. They have been around forever. I use them on my iPhone with NewsTap.

This is probably a good change as I've been defaulting to Google Groups on my Mac just because it's easy. I should do better.
