Stop annoying message

Yes, get a real news reader like Thunderbird or Agent and a Blocknews account. I never see it. Another advantage, Thunderbird has a kill file.

Sure. Where do you see it? Don't go there.

Get a real newsreader, a news account for little or not money, and read the news directly. Don't use Google Groups for new content since it will no longer have any.

I installed Thunderbird.

I can not figure out how to use Google Groups.

I find that eternal-september does a better job of filtering/blocking spam and other undesirable content . And it's free ...

That's because GG is not designed to work with real news readers/email clients . You need an account with a real news server - as you've been told many times recently . If you're too stupid to figure this out maybe you don't need to be participating .

I used to use it but it went downto often. Maybe it is better now?

Sign up with eternal september. It is free. You could subscribe to one of the paid groups but personally Usenet is dying and to me not worth it.

It is working. I also used aioe but it has been down.

There is a place to check status:

That is what I use

With free Microplanet Gravity for the reader.

Yep, Stop using google groups.

It's been pretty reliable for the last few years . I originally got a blocknews account for those times e-s went down - that was like 10 years ago . I've used like .1% of the initial block I bought .

I forgot to mention.

I am using Linux Ubuntu-Mate.

I weep for you.

You can get a "renewed" Windows computer system for a few hundred dollars. There is no excuse for depriving yourself.

Example:

$271.25(computer + keyboard + 24" monitor)

Dell Optiplex 9020 Small Desktop Computer (SFF) | Quad Core Intel i7 (3.40GHz) | 32GB DDR3 RAM | 1TB SSD Solid State | WiFi + Bluetooth | Windows 10 Pro (Renewed)

Don't even think about using google groups. It is going away, as you are being informed.

Sign up with Eternal-September or any other usenet server, and follow their setup instructions. Then, you will wonder why you put up with google groups so long.

Works quite well for me. I've been using ES at least 15 years. It's not down much in my experience.

Here's the link to Eternal September people are mentioning.

I'm happy with Pan on Ubuntu but I'm not using Mate.

xananews is free with no nagware and has linux support (works with linux). Very simple setup, unlike many others. Has just about everything thunderbird does but a whole lot simpler to use.
