I used both to discuss very different topics and even within the topic, for example movies, until we had torrents it was hard to find fans of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/arthouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arthouse</span></a> movies outside of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Fidonet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fidonet</span></a> or <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IRC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IRC</span></a> channels.</p>

Technical choices about the structure of the network were made piecemeal, always with the intent to reduce call cost, and included many political choices. How explicit were they at the time? How were those choices made? Likewise, I can't seem to find much about the content of the discussions on the network. There's a tantalising glimpse of GAYNET, a public echo (forum). What other subcultures thrived on Fidonet? To what degree was this endorsed and supported by sysops? Who were the sysops? By definition, you'd have to be a wealthy probably educated, probably homeowner in order to afford the expensive computers and ongoing call costs of being part of the Fidonet.</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Histodons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Histodons</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/CulturalLogicOfComputation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CulturalLogicOfComputation</span></a></p>
