@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. |
@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.
