MODERATORS
I think your confusion is in thinking that Usenet is a centralized space. It isn't. Yes, you need a provider, but if one does carry what you want, you go elsewhere.
Highly recommend reading the wiki articlenon Usenet.
what wiki article? just browsed and i'm not seeing anything other than a glossary entry
Sorry about the confusion. I meant Wikipedia.

Aha got it, thank you! Fwiw, you sent me down a rabbit hole on fmhy so I'm learning lots today.
