#212574 — Is the Eternal September over

FromJason Evans <jsevans@mailfence.com>

SubjectIs the Eternal September over
Message-ID<rgm9m3$up6$1@dont-email.me>
From wikipedia:

>
Eternal September or the September that never ended is Usenet slang for a 
period beginning in September 1993, the month that Internet service 
provider America Online (AOL) began offering Usenet access to its many 
users, overwhelming the existing culture for online forums.

Before then, Usenet was largely restricted to colleges, universities, and 
other research institutions. Every September, many incoming students 
would acquire access to Usenet for the first time, taking time to become 
accustomed to Usenet's standards of conduct and "netiquette". After a 
month or so, these new users would either learn to comply with the 
networks' social norms or tire of using the service.

Since then the popularity of the Internet has led to a constant stream of 
new users. Hence, from the point of view of the early Usenet, the influx 
of new users in September 1993 never ended.

Dave Fischer appears to have coined the term in a January 1994 post to  
alt.folklore.computers: "It's moot now. September 1993 will go down in  
net history as the September that never ended."
>

With the exception of those who use Usenet as a means of downloading 
pirated material and who provide nothing of value to Usenet at all, is 
the eternal september over and should we go back to the days of valuing 
quality communication and netiquette? By being over, I mean the gradual 
loss of interest in Usenet over centralized corporate platforms like 
Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook.

I'm in the process of writing a new guide on netiquette for beginners 
based on RFC1855, Spaf's "A Primer on How to Work With the USENET 
Community", and a few other documents but without the legalistic nannying 
that many "Codes of Conduct" have.

If the Eternal September is over and we care about Usenet as a real and 
living form of communication over the Internet, what are the most 
important things that we want newbies (and oldies) to know when they 
start using Usenet?

No, definitely not over.
Any doubt in your mind?  Head over to alt.home.repair.

I was just reading about brain damage caused by COVID-19.
For some unfathomable reason we're sending kids back to school.
It's going to get worse, much worse.

How many of these posts are from new users who don't know any better 
because they are new to Usenet and how many are from spammer and trolls 
who have been here forever who continually spout nonsense, spam, and 
conspiracy theories? They former seems like they would be symptoms of the 
Eternal September. The latter seems like they are the cruft that comes 
with having unmoderated groups.

There's also the influx from Google Groups with all of its fallout.

On a number of groups we have other forums (like homeowners heaven) using
a gateway to Usenet to make it look like they have traffic.  I see posts
responding to threads from 10 or 20 years ago with zero citations.

Yeah.  And every once in a while if one comments on a post on one of
those one will be threatened with "I'm going to complain to your
manager".  An empty threat to someone who is self-employed, or
retired, or whose manager has no clue that such a thing as USENET
exists.

This is true, but the result is the same.

The online community has been complaining about that ever
since there was an online community.  I remember a conference
about it.  Let's see, when was that?  Oh yes, it was 
50 (that's fifty) years ago!

Yes, even back in Teletype days there were issues.

Besides that it's mostly spam flooding Newsgroups today. Nothing to do
with AOL users. AFAIK AOL does no longer offer usenet access. It's over.

Usenet is not from AOL.
There are many usenet providers,
yes less than 10 years ago, but still enough.

AOL does no offer Usenet access since 2005. However, I don't think
Eternal September is tied to AOL. Yes, it's started with AOL, but it was
bound to happen anyway. It's a problem all communities are facing when
they get too popular.

I gave up on alt.home.repair. Despite employing an aggressive killfile, 
the signal-to-noise ratio remained abysmal, primarily due to the gang of 
incurably loquacious knob-jockeys who would not budge from their 
apparent conviction that the name of the newsgroup was really 
alt.politics.home.repair.

Yeah, don't know why I hang around there.
Kill files barely make a dent.
I guess I like the subject of home repair and I keep hoping they'll
go somewhere else.

From what I've seen, the uk groups are even worse.
A huge amount of name calling and stalking.
Must be that British humor at work, or all the posters are drunk.

Re: uk.*   
 
Limiting crossposts to three or fewer groups works wonders, then 
a handful of poster-specific killfile entries will do the trick.  
  
Greetings, Usenet fans.  Usenet may be moribund but it isn't dead 
yet; there is even a glimmer of renaissance.  

Usenet's greatest strength is its distributed server nature that
"interprets censorship as damage and routes around it".  It's in 
the nature of the beast that being free of censorship Usenet can't
silence noisy pests, nor should it.  Fortunately, a well managed
killfile and a little self-control can deal with that chore.  
 
IMO Usenet is by far superior to FB, Twitter and Reddit too.  
There are very few web forums that can better it.

A damn shame, the EU looks like a very good thing to me.
Hopefully a way of ending centuries of European conflict
and putting the EU on an even basis with the US.
Now if we could get a South American and an African union
going.

I suppose Usenet, but more important the Internet can eventually end
the curse of the Tower of Babel.

The African Union exists, we just don't hear much about it generally.
