I just wanted to say that this new group still isn't being carried by
Google Groups. This is bad for giving an easy way to use the group from
the web, but it is good because a huge amount of Usenet spam comes from
Google Groups, so this group should be relatively spam free.
Jason, Usenet is not enjoyable using the Google Groups Web interface.
Google abandoned maintaining it years ago. The indexing broke a very
long time ago so that's not even a reason to use it. Given that I guess
Gemini is somewhat the antithesis of Google if there's an emphasis on
privacy, maybe it cannot be seriously discussed via a Web interface.
I suggest it's better to encourage someone to discover Usenet via a
newsreader and subscribing to a News site than the Web, even if it means
using a desktop computer and not an Android or iPhone.
