Spam.

USENET if you want to use it is still there, but the amount of spam vs active posts is low.

I'm just getting back into it after a couple years away.

Thunderbird is cross platform and handles USENET nicely.

I use Panix.com to get my feed but there's also SDF.org which lets you post for free once your account is validated (making a donation is a great way to instantly validate your account, I suggest the $36 one-time donation which will give you a full account)
