You promoters of GuhNoo/FOSS crapware need your heads examined.
Fact.

That behaviour was part of why I moved to Forte Agent. Forte's awful
filtration system is why I gave up, went back to Betterbird, and just
abandoned trying to get blocknews to work right. I'm back on
eternal-september.org.
Yeah, blocknews on Thunderbird/Betterbird has degraded into nearly
unusable as of late. Read 10 posts (sometimes ONE), then get dropped
connections that won't reconnect until you restart the newsreader.
Submit posts that don't show up for 10 minutes, if at all.
I've already had to restart the app 3x this morning just to read cola
from BetterBird.
I gave up and am using Eternal September. I went back and forth with
their technical team and they found nothing wrong, so I doubt that it
will ever get fixed.

folder or two, reinstall BBird and resubscribe to cola to get it to
work. What a fiasco.
I did that and it still didn't work.

crossposting clowns. But it's too slow for me.
So I recently tried Claws Mail and Pan, but neither can hold a candle to
the Birds. XanaNews is pretty good, though.
I spent a month and wrote my own very easy to use newsreader in PyQt. A
few clicks to choose a group and download N posts and you're subscribed.
Couple clicks to delete the subscription. Has filtering and sorting
and bolding/not bolding and replies.
It's a work-in-progress, but I'll give it away (public domain) someday
when I finish a few crucial features, like save drafts and save sent.
Here's what it looks like now: https://imgur.com/a/Lh0ZNZx
I can manage with the slow speed of Eternal September. Hopefully,
Blocknews will fix everything by the time it becomes unbearably slow.
