Soon AIOE will have ALL the newsgroups on a banlist. But who cares,
Usenet is dead anyhow. alt.home.repair has been trashed by idiots and
trolls for 2 years already and is no longer worth going there.
Either use Facefuck, or stop using the internet. Those are the only
choices. The internet is DEAD!
I will not use faceplant.
All the interwebs are all full of idiots and trolls. LCD is the norm for the
world.
I would not use facebook, even if they paid people to use it. Facebook
is EVIL. It invades personal privacy, its full of rubbish and rude
assholes. It's set up to make users waste their lives finding useful
content. I often hear people saying "I can keep track of family and send
them pictures". Guess what, you can do the same thing with email, and no
one else reads it except the person who it was sent to. Facebook ruined
the internet. I used to go to websites to find out where local
entertainers were performing. Now they all use facebook, and few have
websites anymore.
Several months ago, I pulled the plug on the internet. I was paying an
ISP for internet service at home. At one time it was worth the cost, but
I decided it was just money going to waste now. If I need to research
something or look up some information, I just go to a public WIFI now,
and use my laptop. I regularly save websites and videos to my hard drive
to view later, from home. I repeat, Facebook ruined the internet !
I'm not wasting my money for an internet dominated by the evils of
facebook.
alt.home.repair was once my favorite newsgroup to read. The last time I
was there, I got over 1000 messages and only saw one or two that were on
topic. And that is AFTER my filters cleared away all the worst abusers.
Wading thru all the rubbish on there was not worth my time. I deleted
all the messages and have not been back since. With 99 out of every 100
newsgroups being empty now, the few that still have activity are mostly
all full of off topic rubbish, mostly politics, rude comments and
trolls. So, the newsgroups are dead too. With that said, I dont really
care if all the newsgroups are put on a banlist.....
But none of this is a big surprise. In the 80's the CB radio died.
Nearly all AM radioo stations are gone now and FM is not far behind.
Shortwave radio is almost dead too.
And this does not come as a surprise that television is on its way to
the cemetery too. Im revealing my age. In the 1950's thru the 80's
television was great and there were some awesome shows. much of them
were black and white, but fun to watch. These days we have HDTV color
sets and home theaters. But there is nothing worth watching on tv
anymore. I use my HDTV to watch the old programs from the 50's thru 80's
on the "oldies" channels, and many of them are black and white.
We have NOT advanced in our society. We have gone backwards if anything!
But I can at least tell my grand children that there was once a time
when people laughed.....
