I agree with this, but recently we created the comp.lang.go and we get
1-2 msg a month, currently there is an alt for rust, and we get the same
ammount of traffic, I know in the comp.lang.go we have more lurkers than
posters unfortunatelly, I made good word of it back 3 years a go, on go
matrix channels and mastodon etc, and I know people joined because they created 
an account on our server, and I see them logging in daily, unfortunatelly I 
switched a bit after that to do most of my coding o rust as well not go any more, 
so I myself have not many topics to ask but is a win win because we got more peple
to use usenet on a daily basis I just think they are "Scared" we had
comments in our matrix chat rooms of some people getting shy to talk
because all the ultra right wing trolls in other newsgroups specially 1
linux advocate one comes to mind, but they do participate in the hispagatos.* 
I try to asure them to just ignore the trolls and start participating on
the big-8 groups a well.. :shrugs: so In short I like the idea I will
post, specially now that all my code is in rust for myself and my
hacking/infosec work, if you make good word of it at least maybe we get
new fresh users and balance a bit the trolls :) 
PS: I know a lot of people is not going to agree with this. Im aware.

Happy Hacking
