A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I was more asking about the analogy not being good. I don't know anything specific besides the analogy at the moment, so I'd love to know why it might fall short
I think the analogy is great - but analogies only work if the person is more familiar with the analogy than the actual topic - if the understanding is the same or less, it doesn't function well.
I mean, in a lot of ways the fediverse is reinventing Usenet too, but if you don't know the technical details of Usenet, that analogy doesn't help you either.
