@strypey @arbalister @woolhatwoman My point was that usenet access was normally through a university or ISP, where fidonet was usually through a small BBS in your home town.

@ajroach42 @strypey @woolhatwoman agreed. I *was* an ISP in the early days, lol, so maintaining a UseNet feed was my go-to. Used Fido, but was nevera sysop.

@strypey @arbalister @woolhatwoman who was in control? Who could be? How was content moderated? How many people were there? Usenet was big and formal.

But yeah, close enough.
