  • Does Usenet still have va

    The main problem is you need to have powerful filters to weed out the noise. For example, Spanish usenet groups used to be very active and
    have legit users when I stopped visiting them, but if you wanted to somehow enjoy it you had to weed 75% of the traffic out.

    In other words, it hasn't changed in at least 40 years.

    See subject for the key question.

    I know it's popular for, ahem, 'files' but is it still utilised for conversational topics?
    Usenet lost its cool when isp's stopped offering it and many of the topics became junk since 2006+.

    That was when I stopped browsing, several years ago when they shut down their server.
