What are the best BBS forums?
  • There were BBS forums that were connected. That's what FidoNet did, spreading messages server to server.

    Not OP, but to me, the Fediverse is most similar to Usenet. I ran a Usenet server ages ago as an intern at a small company where we exchanged the forums (i.e communities) nightly with a big provider via modem. The technology has certainly changed, but it's the same basic spirit.

    There were the big centralized places, like Compuserve and AOL later on that had a more consumer friendly setup. But in that same era, Usenet and the interconnected BBS forums were the Fediverse of the day.
