Usenet is unmoderated. Once you post it, it sticks forever. We could probably get one of the independent providers to give free access to a new newsgroup. Anyone have any thoughts?

I’ve used Usenet for my content needs for years because it’s so fast and risk free. I think we could also use it for our community discussions.

I wonder if alt.tasteless.jokes is still going?

did it get back to normal at some point? I remember checking it out about 2000 and things like pets had obvious shills (post about purina being quality and great for your animal and note this was before the chain dog foods kicked it up a notch health wise.)

Someone would need to make a request to news.groups.proposals if it needs to be under the big-8. Otherwise, there is alt.*.

This is a summary of the posted article (I'm a bot).

Inflation held steady at 8.7 percent in May despite analyst expectations it would fall to 8.4 percent. It makes it almost certain the Bank of England will increase interest rates to 5 percent in August. The country's economy now risks a wave of mortgage defaults as a slew of fixed rate deals head for expiry in the second half of this year. The data is likely to unnerve Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who pledged in January he would slash inflation in half if he came to power.

How do I work?
