Dialup BBSes->usenet->Slashdot->Digg->Reddit->Lemmy. I'm sure it'll happen again.

Lemmy really reminds me of those old BBSes though -- I'm connecting to my local server, it's federating messages like FIDOnet used to do, just much faster :)

    You left out IRC. It's #channel drama was fantastic back in they day. Using net-splits to take over channels. Finding some jerk's running an open proxy and using it to get the IP klined.

    I was struggling to remember FIDOnet! UUCP kept NNTP keept popping into my head.

    My IRC experience is largely limited to openprojects.net (later freenode), and it had tools in place to prevent that drama. By the time the network collapsed under post-lilo management, I had already moved on. The drama that existed on other servers felt like rumour only.
