    No, but sci.math will be effectively dead on 2024-02-22. Google Groups will then no longer support it. In its current state, it certainly won't be missed by students and educators, infested as it is by know-nothing trolls.

    I've been looking at posters and where they post from.

    From Google Groups most posts are spam, trolls, nonsense posters or
    cranks. Not all, you're an exception.

    Non-GG posters are more likely to be legitimate math and science
    posters. Again, not all.

    I'd expect that for groups which maintain a 'critical mass' of posters,
    the quality will increase greatly without the spam and trolls. We'll
    see. Feel free to use a regular Usenet client and return if you wish.

    I will continue to be active in other more popular and respected math forums.
