You, Pabst, still managed to find my post even though I didn't put it
the (IMHO) dead int-fiction groups.

I believe https://intfiction.org/ supports RSS, at least at the category
level it does advertise it:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Latest posts"
  href="https://intfiction.org/posts.rss" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Latest topics"
  href="https://intfiction.org/latest.rss" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" 
  title="RSS feed of topics in the &#39;General&#39; category"
  href="https://intfiction.org/c/general.rss" />

And since it is Discourse(.org) based, it should work as a mailing list,
too, after initial sign-up.

I don't know the specifics, but the move off Usenet was prompted by a
persistent troll or trolls.
