is Usenet making a comeback? -- (3 Signs of growth)
3 Signs of growth:Or people cross posting to 5 groups at once ups the count.
There are indications of renewed interest in Usenet in recent years.
This is attributed to several factors, including:
(1) Disillusionment with mainstream social media: Users seeking more privacy and less
censorship might find Usenet appealing.
(2) Niche appeal: Usenet thrives in specific areas like file sharing and technical discussions
due to its decentralized nature and large historical archive.
(3) Improved accessibility: Modern Usenet providers offer user-friendly interfaces and easier
access compared to the past.

Usenet is DOA! Long Live Usenet!
It is filled with bots and people that spam flood the groups. Until it is completely moderated, we could use AI to do that, it will be the place of Alien, Lunatics and Terrorists.

Usenet's USP is that it is the last bastion of free speech,*
decentralised, uncensorable, owned by nobody but served by many.
Moderation and free speech are mutually incompatible. Yes, there is
bad behaviour, that's the way the world is. Learn to use a killfile and you'll be fine.

Oh! I'm taken aback. Have we met before, Frank, maybe somewhere else
under a different name? Have I perhaps unwittingly offended you?
As you've *plonked* me, I don't suppose you'll see this.
Oh well, shit happens.

As I wrote: You are perceived as a Troll.
Ah. One of the problems with wrestling trolls is being mistaken for
one oneself -- lay down with dogs, get up with fleas sort of thing.
The old adage about wrestling pigs is particularly apposite, eh?
How do ~you~ get over that problem, Jörg?

Killfile you like all other Trolls.

You are completely OT in this group.

And thus it is possible he doesn't see your reply.
How stupid is it to post in more than one group and not subscribing to
all of them? That would justify the deletion even more. Next time
killfiling is an option.

I may have subscribed all those groups, or not, yet read a particular
thread only in one.
By deleting some groups of a reply you risk that some people may not see
your reply. It is not polite.

If you want to be polite, then post on topic into a newsgroup.
It's rude to crosspost into a newsgroup you don't read, even in
followup. Crossposting, more often than not, is a troll.
If your followup is not on topic in each of the newsgroups in the
crosspost, then cut the crosspost without setting Followup-To. Remember
being taught when you were a Usenet newbie to read a newsgroup for a
while to become familiar with what's being discussed before posting to
it? That's especially true of crossposting.

X-posting is impolite to the highest degree!
Only Trolls and beginners do that. The absolute minimum is to announce X-postings.
I answer usually only in subscribed group(s).

That's for the OP to decide, not us.

By answering only in the groups _you_ read you cause problems to _me_,
which is impolite.
How could I ever know that? Sorry that is utter nonsense.

anyone crossposting is probably already subscribed to each of those newsgroup(s) so they can see any non-crossposted replies within any
of those groups; it's common netiquette to omit cross-posted groups
from replies, so anyone crossposting that would complain about this
routine of cutting crossposts probably has some unscrupulous agenda

No. If I'm reading group X and someone x-posts an interesting
question to X, Y, and Z - Y and Z being groups I don't subscribe
to - I don't want to have to subscribe to them just to make sure
I see all replies.
If someone in Z decides to only reply to Z I won't see it. Either
reply to X, Y, Z and set followup to Z and say so - so I can
decide to subscribe to Z to see the followups - or, better still,
don't do it.
Unless of course, you know that your reply is not worth reading,
when there is an easier way ;)

Because we have told you more than once.
A completely insufficient answer. *You* do not know the rules and worse
you do not understand them.
And your pluralis majestaetis is ricidulous to the highest degree, Troll.
