There's also an entry barrier as BBSes are much more complicated to use than
websites like Reddit, Facebook or other forums. The only reason I learned about
the BBS scene is because I have a few oldie 80s computers I like to use online
which is a fairly niche reason to be on in the first place.

A lot of new users pop their heads in to see what the 80s internet was all
about before going back onto the regular modern internet.
