If one does not want to register and be able to post, you could
still use the site as a read-only tool.
 

I am an old guy who shakes his cane at computers (note to self, get a
cane).  Nonetheless I was able to switch from google to
seamonkey/eternal September in about 15 minutes, without breaking a
single monitor.

I have used news.individual.net since Monash University dropped their
news feed in about 2004.  I mainly used gnus on emacs as my newsreader.
There used to be a list of free or low-cost news services somewhere on
the net.  I don't have a browser on this old iBook G4 running Debian
(ports).
