Not that anyone asked, but my feelings around Fidonet are complicated.
I have great memories of Fidonet in the 90s and always had in the
back of my mind that I would reclaim my node number 'someday'. In
recent years my opinion of Fidonet has soured, when I browse Fido
echoes there is little traffic and a lot of what I see is petty
grudges that have lasted for decades in some cases. (I may be looking
in the wrong places and with the wrong expectations.)
My advice is to never look in the sysop or politics echoes. ;) Beyond
that, COOKING is a good one and is active. MEMORIES was also a good and
active one, but the moderator has had health issues so it has dried up.
There are other good ones, too, and I feel like I might be slighting
some by not mentioning them... those are just a couple that I read
regularly.
