Yeah, almost every usenet group I used to read is dead; this one is
the most active remaining, and that's really not saying a lot :-/
usenet may not be fancy or pretty but for simple function in enabling
communication, it's great. 

Mailing lists are going the same way, one I've been in for 15+ years
is still alive, but far quieter than it used to be, with most its old
members on Facebook groups instead, real shame. Facebook groups are
just terrible for ongoing conversations IMO, since you never can find
the new comments on old posts: there's no "unread" indicator! But at
least I can actually use Facebook; I can't get into Twitter, Snapchat
and goodness knows what else at all... I guess I'm getting old
already, only in my early 30s :-P
