"There was a time when I would read the whole internet, every day. Oh, not all of it. But when Usenet - the internet's first widescale social media - was bridged into Fidonet (a network of dial-up BBSes), my local free bulletin board system began to import several hundred Usenet newsgroups, updating several times per day. I would dial up to this BBS and read my way through all of the new posts on these groups. Early on, this was easy. Then, as traffic picked up, and as more newsgroups entered the feed, it got harder. Then it got impossible." https://pluralistic.net/2021/05/27/probably/ -- Paul W. Schleck pschleck@panix.com
