I'm on Mojave with my 2015 15" MBP (incidentally the best computer ever made) 
and I'm thinking about going back to High Sierra because of the messed up font 
rendering thing alone.  Not really that interested in tossing two good external 
displays just because Apple decided I should.

I'm sorry - the subpixel text rendering. Anyway, it makes text look like shite. 
So there.

It's the subpixel text rendering (to please nospam) - basically, text on 
non-retina screens will appear to be fussy.  My eyesight is not the greatest 
but I had zero issues with this when running High Sierra. I have tried to 
enable font smoothing and also the terminal hacks but it's still not as good as 
before.

Your news client sucks ass, man. It spews B<> all over the place.

I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead.

It's not a news client - it's a BBS system.

I'm unfamiliar with what you are using Loacim, but, as you've been told, 
it doesn't sit well with other newsreaders.

Have you tried Thunderbird? I quite like it - you might too! And it's 
free - unless you wish to make a donation!

Here's a link to it: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-GB/
