I was relying heavily on the quotes around “bought”. A large amount of Usenet had consolidated under Deja which went to Google. While there is still some remnants around. What it was before is no where near the same as it is now.

Not really… Google “bought” it out back in the early 2000s and took over the archives. And turned it into its groups product.
The OG federated social media was Usenet.
Much like how this is just ActivityPub with a few extra metadata to thread them.
