with google's g2n gateway shutting down, its former inhabitants will be dispersed, scattered abroad, displaced to the four corners of the earth, multitudes of wayward outcasts in search of the fabulous user's network
Some of that multitude are people who believe Google bought out
Usenet lock stock and barrel, back when their ISP shut down its news
server. They will believe the "fabulous user's network" is a thing of
the past which no longer exists.

Google tells them in their message that they can continue to use it,
but need another provide.
People who are able to read should be able to notice that. :-)

A talent not noticeably overabundant among Usenet users.

It's selective ignorance.

The message they see in Google Groups does not tell them that they can continue to use Usenet. The message they see in Google Groups says
only this:
| Effective February 22, 2024, Google Groups will no longer support
| new Usenet content. Posting and subscribing will be disallowed,
| and new content from Usenet peers will not appear. Viewing and
| searching of historical data will still be supported as it is
| done today.
You expect those people to click a 'Learn more' link to go to a Google support page and when they get there to read a 366-word page to find
*and* also understand this information half-way down. If someone is
the type who already believes Google bought out Usenet lock stock and
barrel, he or she is unlikely to complete all of that. Many won't even
click the link.

many of these ejected googlegroup refugees could find websites
offering user-friendly rocksolid light web2news format very much to
their liking; and with no more google spam, even unfiltered
newsgroups would probably be much easier to read . . . only 44 days
left until the goo goes kaput
Hah.
Will only happen if you drag them kicking and screaming,
one refugee at a time.
I've even tied a red ribbon on my refugee, as proof it can be done.

That's the end result of progressive liberal education policies. Not to worry. Many of them can't read or write well enough to support
themselves so the problem is self-solving when they OD or starve to
death.
Google tells them in their message that they can continue to use it,
but need another provider.

You describe conservative policies and the results of conservative
policies, then blame them on "progressive liberals" (a non-existent
group, just like conservative liberals). Maybe you're just here to
push an agenda? If so, kindly fuck off.
But where does a Google Groups user find those free posting accounts?
That's only from my memory so much of it could be outdated or wrong.

How about adding that information to Wikipedia?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet
It can be the list itself included there, or a link on the "External
links" section.

Probably would be useful, putting it on Wikipedia would make it easier
to find, and anyone curious about USENET can make an account straight
from the Wikipedia page.
