"Tulsi Gabbard fired the top 2 officials at the Nat Intelligence Council after the council authored an assessment that contradicted Trump’s rationale for invoking the Alien Enemies Act & deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members w/o #dueprocess.

The assessment by the NIC found that the Venezuelan govt is most likely not directing the activities of TdA or facilitating its operations in the US."

One thing I like about that period in which the System Operator could literally see what you typed; the Age of UUCP and Usenet, way before www, is that there was something on those federated networks that we shall not easily get nor easily gain again;

**TRUST**

Inherited Trust of the period was so beautiful. All the Networks are open and there were no trolls that could do any real damage.

Many decades have gone by, but I've now finally had contact with an actual Operator of a Usenet node. Thank you for your reaction

Do understand that all federated networks need relays, many, so that reach is increased, otherwise you'll end up having to wait hours to days before posts reach wider audiences

Excerpt:
{
One of the biggest advantages of relays is that they help smaller instances thrive. When a new or niche server joins the Fediverse, it often starts as a quiet place with limited interaction. Relays can dramatically change this dynamic. By participating in a relay, a small server’s content reaches a larger audience. This doesn’t just give more visibility to the server – it helps its users feel more integrated into the broader Fediverse community. People are more likely to stay active on their instance when they see others engaging with their posts.
}

Low reachability means you will have to wait long times, just like I did in the UUCP days. We could only afford one dialup session of 60 minutes per week to upr2.clu.net.
So our reach / ping time was 7 days!!!

In order to better understand federated networks you should keep in min the following exerpt from the article

Excerpt: An ActivityPub relay acts as a middleman, **bridging multiple servers** to facilitate broader content sharing.

**Without a relay, communication across instances relies entirely on direct relationships between servers**

This was also the case with classic news servers and SMTP mail servers.

In my country I was one of the three people who brought the internet in fruition. Explicit detail is on my github {message me for details}
When we dailed from 454074 to upr2.clu.net we spoke UUCP with that big server in Puerto Rico. Our mail could only reach the rest of the world when upr2.clu.net pushed them to the upstream servers.

Upstream pushing could take days.

Relays simply tell the network that your server can send the traffic and they relay them to others, working like a classic network hub

BTW upr2.clu.net still runs, incarnated in a modern form (screencap included)

Go read about how it works on this Federation and learn

It is unthinkable but this internet provider refuses blatantly to provide us with a bill, when we have paid them the requested fees, for the exorbitant amount of money, in relation to the low bandwidth given.

This is a violation of commerce Law

They provide a PDF file which just says **you've paid us**

That PDF is sometimes mailed to you
I only received 3 and then The System crashed.
