does anyone post here or is it just all spam now?

I saw three messages in November, none of them spam.

I just had an Emacs question... but I found the answer in the manual.
Damn!

The newsgroup's pretty much dead. I just use /r/emacs on Reddit for my emacs-related discussion.

I love Reddit, but usenet is so nostalgic. I do think it's funny that
there is so much spam on such a waning communication platform.

I have a feeling that going through this group on Google Groups
and "reporting" (they do have this function, right?) every single
unwanted message there may change things a bit for the better.

Well, so long that there's a way to post to Reddit from Emacs...

Although I see one another plus side to Usenet: its distributed
nature makes moderators' abuse virtually impossible. Not even
mailing lists do offer such a feature.
