    google hates the trends not supporting their progressive goals.

    You might consider dumping google android too.

    google wants to get rid of groups and free speech on their platforms.
    Let's help them achieve that goal.

    I love alternatives.

    Dave (The Doctor) knows all about what I say below, but others
    on the various newsgroups this is sent to may not know this yet.

    Known alternatives. (Please add more if you know more than I do.)
    <https://archive.org/details/usenet>
    <https://article.olduse.net/> (look up message-ID)
    <news://nntp.aioe.org/alt.free.newsservers>
    -----< replace c.m.a. below with your favorite newsgroup >-----
    <http://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android>
    <https://comp.mobile.android.narkive.com>
    <https://www.novabbs.com/computers/thread.php?group=comp.mobile.android>
    etc.

    I did not see the original article on c.m.a., but to add value,
    we've been well apprised of the situation since the Google spam
    on c.m.a. has been calculated at literally 99.5% lately.

    On the peering newsgroup, we've been discussing these issues with the
    news servers that peered with Google & by other means for a few weeks.
    *Effective February 15, 2024, Google Groups will no longer support new Usenet content*
    <https://groups.google.com/g/news.admin.peering/c/_w1mbwzgzs0>

    Which is a followup to this original request for who is peering this spam:
    *Who is peering all these spams ostensibly from Google Groups?*
    <https://groups.google.com/g/news.admin.peering/c/AgrNUeZuAkw>

    Which itself was followed up in a request for people to complain to Google:
    *Please complain to Google about their spamming of Usenet*
    <https://groups.google.com/g/news.admin.peering/c/xxniDVj3ArI>

    With respect to the narkives, I conversed with the admin over
    email and he kindly responded asking for help improving the
    narkive over on the peering newsgroup.

    The discussion should best be taken up there, but complaining
    alone won't solve the problem. You have to volunteer to help.

    As always if you know more than I do on this, please add value.

    It's not a browseable archive, but when you have a
    message ID and want to find the article, it's a much
    friendlier interface than Google:
