I know this is off topic, but I think there are a number of hams here.
Looking to get back into it but have some questions.
Now that the a**holes have completely trashed all the USENET ham radio
groups where do hams go for the kinds of discussions that used to be there?

If you are specifically into RTTY, there is the greenkeys list. I am not a
ham, but I collect and repair teletypes, so I am active on there.

Where are you located? There is a number of groups all over the range of
activities that hams do and in various social media.
Please free to email me off list if you want to get more info.

Just want to jump in that I'm also a CCer who is a ham.
I'm on a couple of Facebook ham radio groups, and there are a few decent
forums, but one of the best places to talk about ham radio is on the
radio itself. If you can find a local repeater that enough hams monitor,
it's not hard to get a conversation going about what to do next.

Bill,
There are moderated groups, but many don't want to use them. Not sure why, delays in
posting etc.
As most of the noxious people are consistent in posting ids some kill filters can fix.

There are numerous Ham Radio groups at Groups.io: https://groups.io
If you know what you are after, search for it. If you're not sure,
search for "ham radio".
I belong to about 44 ham radio groups there.

Threes this discord server where there is a nice ham community but most of the groups I’ve
found are on Facebook.
It’s fun to combine both hobbies like I’ve been computer controlling one of my old rigs
with a apple 2 and using a C64 in conjunction as a rtty terminal. So many people take joy
from seeing what crazy things I do next.
