Do you use a paid Usenet account, a free account on a site like Eternal

September, or an open service such as Aioe? What newsgroup reader do you

use?

If new or prospective Gemini users wanted to join the group, how would

you recommend they do it?

I'm probably a bit hardcore, since I use a Leafnode server hosted locally, and

a mix of different usenet services to get those sweet text only articles /

groups that aren't availble on different servers.

But, behind leafnode I've got an account with news.individual.net (prefered

server) and would recommend them. It's 10€/year which isn't in everybody's

budget. Other people have recommended aioe.org and eternal-september.org.

For a client, if I'm logged into one of my *nix machines then alpine or on

MacOS thunderbird (but I'm currently testing another one right now so don't

snoop my headers :D).

With a potential user, I would say dip your toes in with aioe.org,

eternal-september.org, or if your ISP still has a usenet server try that, and

if you become a more heavy user then start looking at a paid service that

isn't one of those binary services.

At every party there are two kinds of people – those who want to go home and those who don’t. The trouble is, they are usually married to each other.
