Disagree.
That would only hold if it was 'community sites' vs 'usenet sites'.

The word 'community' was applied to 'sites', thereby distinguishing
it from other *sites*.

Usenet doesn't need further qualifying.  There is only one usenet,
and it is not a site, let alone multiple sites.

The whole asking about the choice of words is obviously just a smokescreen,
because the real meat of the discussion -the comparison of usenet and
community sites- was probably deemed to be unwinnable.

The reason I say this because I saw numerous arguments that were not
replied to (including some of my own), and the whole thing shifted
to an elaborate attack on an innocent choice of words.

Note that I find 'winning' a discussion to be a ridiculous concept,
but it seems that a lot of people don't even grasp that notion.

"You're wrong!"
"So what?  The other guy got fed up so I won the discussion."
