You misspelled regressive.

You might consider dumping google android too.

Nice!

google wants to get rid of groups and free speech on their platforms.
Let's help them achieve that goal.

I love alternatives.

Dave (The Doctor) knows all about what I say below, but others
on the various newsgroups this is sent to may not know this yet.

Known alternatives. (Please add more if you know more than I do.)

etc.

I did not see the original article on c.m.a., but to add value,
we've been well apprised of the situation since the Google spam
on c.m.a. has been calculated at literally 99.5% lately.

On the peering newsgroup, we've been discussing these issues with the
news servers that peered with Google & by other means for a few weeks.
*Effective February 15, 2024, Google Groups will no longer support new Usenet content*
<https://groups.google.com/g/news.admin.peering/c/_w1mbwzgzs0>

Which is a followup to this original request for who is peering this spam:
*Who is peering all these spams ostensibly from Google Groups?*
<https://groups.google.com/g/news.admin.peering/c/AgrNUeZuAkw>

Which itself was followed up in a request for people to complain to Google:
*Please complain to Google about their spamming of Usenet*
<https://groups.google.com/g/news.admin.peering/c/xxniDVj3ArI>

With respect to the narkives, I conversed with the admin over
email and he kindly responded asking for help improving the
narkive over on the peering newsgroup.

The discussion should best be taken up there, but complaining
alone won't solve the problem. You have to volunteer to help.

Probably not, but I'm chipping in anyhow.

Just to be clear about archives, www.novabbs.com is a web interface, but it is not meant to be a permanent archive. Articles will expire at 3 years, or 100,000 articles per group, whichever comes first. Some groups, like *.test groups, expire earlier.

This will hopefully provide a decent history of articles, but they will eventually expire.

Hi Retro Guy,

Thank you for adding value to the combined tribal knowledge, and for
clarifying the role of novabbs in a short 3-year/100K archival.

Here's a table for people to put into their Usenet notes file:
a. DejaGoogle archives (no longer updated after February 2024)
<http://groups.google.com/g/news.admin.peering>
b. Davide Cavion's Narkive (WIP)
<https://news.admin.peering.narkive.com>
c. Retro Guy's NovaBBS/RockSolid archive
<https://www.novabbs.com/computers/thread.php?group=news.admin.peering>

These are useful for those conscientious netizens who run a search before
they post a question or they reference an existing answer - and it will be useful to forward (e.g., by email) a reference the non-Usenet citizen (like your mom) to a useful Usenet thread or article (which they can read without needing a newsreader or an account as it works on every platform browser).

To continue to add useful on-topic value with every post, there's also the Message-ID archives (which most people know about, but perhaps not all).
<https://article.olduse.net/>
<http://al.howardknight.net>

For example, one can look up an article if they have the message id, e.g.,
Message-ID: <ulg14i$3o4hi$1@paganini.bofh.team>
Message-ID: <2023121523452261422-loveshisspam@narkive.com>
Message-ID: <245e50b032147b7bf2dc3fe5b2c1e048@news.novabbs.com>
etc.

Bear in mind that the dejagoogle archives removed the message-id from the header information years ago - but many of the other archives did not.

It's not a browseable archive, but when you have a
message ID and want to find the article, it's a much
friendlier interface than Google:
