i know it's more modern but i want dejanews back so bad

  I was positively surprised to find new on-topic usenet content lately in comp.lang.* (and not just formal announcements). As you know, DejaNews was just a web interface for usenet before they were bought by Google to lead audiences towards Google Groups, like they did with XMPP and a couple social sites such as Orkut.

    Maybe I should check out what's going on in some of the newsgroups I hung out in, and if anything worthwhile comes up, get back on. I kind of quit bothering after Comcast killed off their news servers. I don't want to bother with the binaries groups, though.

      If you don't want binary groups, you can get free access: https://www.eternal-september.org/ https://www.eternal-september.org/

    A that's nice, yes I miss DejaNews because it provided a search interface, you couldn't search the whole tree unless you had downloaded all messages yourself.
