successful at what? i am predicting ww3 to begin in 2026.
usenet needs to be made as convenient as creating a social media
account. popele think they are smart for raising the difficulty
to attract capable people, but all they get is endless dunes in
the sahara.
i thought about this some more, usenet cannot handle hundreds of
millions of posters. imagine if 0.1% of 100 million people post,
that is 100,000 posts in a single group in a single day.
if there are 5000 active threads, how will i know which one to
look at or reply to? will anyone even see it?
Are Google Groups functioning?
An impression was they were shut down.

Well, I am on a Facebook group with 3000 members that

My ex-wife, Sally, is also on Facebook. So, I posted a link on her wall about a breaking up song on YouTube:
"We had a picture perfect wedding
Had the whole world at our feet
everyone said we we heading
For lover's easy street
We had a house out in the country
A picket fence, the whole nine yards
We said our love would last forever
It was written in the stars.
Wrong!
I should have known it all along
When the future looks too bright
And everything is right
Wrong!" - Waylon Jennings

most people will just lurk, like normal. reddit subs can be in the
millions ... but like posts will only get a few hundred replies if that
reddit has many many moderators and large group review before anything
gets out front. but yes most lurk, which is why i took 0.1%, we could
reduce it to 0.01%, would still be a problem, probably.
but another problem is money, 100 million users = millions of
advertising potential, which cant be done on usenet i guess like the
google ad system.

my wife uses facebook here in the bay area for buy nothing
groups and marketplace to get baby stuff
and kids and pets. It's very popular with Boomers. I've got two
siblings and their children to keep up with and all their
comings and goings using Face Time and Messenger.
My ex-wife, Sally, is also on Facebook. So, I posted a link on
her wall about a breaking up song on YouTube:
"We had a picture perfect wedding
Had the whole world at our feet
everyone said we we heading
For lover's easy street
We had a house out in the country
A picket fence, the whole nine yards
We said our love would last forever
It was written in the stars.
Wrong!
I should have known it all along
When the future looks too bright
And everything is right
Wrong!" - Waylon Jennings
so i guess people who are about to die use facebook.

successful at what? i am predicting ww3 to begin in 2026.
usenet needs to be made as convenient as creating a social
media account. popele think they are smart for raising the
difficulty to attract capable people, but all they get is
endless dunes in the sahara.
i thought about this some more, usenet cannot handle hundreds
of millions of posters. imagine if 0.1% of 100 million people
post, that is 100,000 posts in a single group in a single day.
if there are 5000 active threads, how will i know which one
to look at or reply to? will anyone even see it?
most people will just lurk, like normal. reddit subs can be in
the millions ... but like posts will only get a few hundred
replies if that
reddit has many many moderators and large group review before
anything gets out front. but yes most lurk, which is why i took
0.1%, we could reduce it to 0.01%, would still be a problem,
probably.
but another problem is money, 100 million users = millions of
advertising potential, which cant be done on usenet i guess
like the google ad system.
how is that a problem?
fuck advertising, and being beholden to the whims of advertisers,
who most assuredly do not have our best interest in mind

its a problem because with 100 million users comes resource and scaling issue, then there will be competitors offering free or addon services
which will no doubt have ads or data sharing stuff.

Well, I am on a Facebook group with 3000 members that
gets 0--1 posts per day these days. And if it is a group
for questions, some may see that their question has
already been answered.
