 just curious... the popular "blueworldhosting" server currently shows
over twenty-four thousand (24,712) articles in news:fido7.ru.military

There is 1 year less on i2pn2, but much more on csiph (since 2015), all readable, especially in Russian, archives in Arabic. Often, an nntp server offers a long list of message titles but their content is inaccessible, the sysop decides, nntp sysops are rarely reliable or trade in binaries, the best free servers have closed. That's why fido could be reborn ...
Is fido moderated? Sometimes. This moderator is omnipresent: Approved: gateway@fido7.ru
How to access? Fortunately, gogle-groups this parasite has been stopped, there are still gateways apparently (there are quite a few remailed messages, see the encapsulated-remailing method). Russia and Crimea seem to have hosts, you would have to find a recent fidonet directory then the phone number of the BBS or its DNS address. fido7.f400.link ?

They say: Use telnet for fidonet. It's a good idea, but BBSs allow you to bypass the internet.
More info in the active groups and their FAQs, everything is in Russian (google-translate doesn't like it). The West has disowned fido, for convenience.
fido7.f400.link increments a counter in the routing over time, new nodes? There would be 334 (where?), it's plausible.
Fido has its nomenclature xzone.xxxcounty.xxxnode.xxxxpoint plus remailers, no need for DNS since it originally went through BBSs (telephone). You can even go through amateur radio.
Some explanations and political information on fido7.ru.anarchy
Hello!
Il y a 1 an de moins sur i2pn2, mais beaucoup plus sur csiph (depuis 2015), tous lisibles, surtout en russe, des archives en arabe. Souvent, un serveur nntp propose une longue liste de titres de messages mais leur contenu est inaccessibles, le sysop décide, les sysops nntp sont rarement fiables ou font le commerce des binaires, les meilleurs serveurs libres ont fermé. C'est pour ça que fido pourrait renaître ...
Fido est-il modéré ? Parfois. Ce modérateur est omniprésent:  Approved: gateway@fido7.ru
Comment accéder ? Il y a heureusement eu l'arrêt de gogle-groups ce parasite, il reste des passerelles visiblement (il y a pas mal de messages remailés, voir la méthode à encapsuled-remailing). La russie et la crimée semblent posséder des hosts, il faudrait trouver un annuaire fidonet récent puis le numéro de téléphone du BBS ou son adresse DNS. fido7.f400.link ?

Ils disent: Utiliser telnet pour fidonet. C'est une bonne piste, mais les BBS permettent de ne pas passer par internet.
Plus d'infos dans les groupes actifs et leurs faqs, tout est en russe (google-translate n'aime pas ça). L'occident a renié fido, par facilité.
fido7.f400.link incrémente un compteur dans le routage au fil du temps, des nouveaux nodes ? Il y en aurait 334 (où ?), c'est plausible.
Fido a sa nomenclature xzone.xxxcounty.xxxnode.xxxxpoint plus les remailers, pas forcément besoin de DNS puisqu'à l'origine ça passait par les BBS (téléphone). On peut même passer par radio-amateur.
Quelques explications et des infos politiques sur fido7.ru.anarchy
Hello!

 however, the oldest article for this newsgroup (fido7.ru.military) on
the server (news.blueworldhosting.com) is dated 2022/03/22 ~three and
one-half years old, which suggests "fidonet.org" approved articles to
this popular moderated newsgroup expire before the server's longevity
of about twenty-one (21) years, as is evident for enduring newsgroups
 i've had very good luck with russian freeware (e.g. https://aimp.ru/)
and websites, but i have no experience with fidonet (only usenet, and
formerly with bbs) . . . because it's moderated, is it like political,
or just common interests in all things military without east vs. west?

Russia censors websites that offer VPN downloads, I don't know anything about the rest, but I see remailing, approvals maiby needed for remailing, and a few groups that have survived for reasons I don't know (technical means, confidentiality?).
La russie censure les sites web qui proposent de télécharger des vpn, je ne sais rien du reste, mais je constate du remailing, des approval, et quelques groupes qui ont survécu pour des raisons que j'ignore (moyens techniques, confidentialité ?).
