Does anyone remember Freenet? It was community dialup where as long as you had a modem you could dial in and use the Internet without your telecom being involved. Anyway I found my way to telnet talkers, which predated web browsers, and you had to telnet into a specific IP address to join a text based chat room. This was the earlier 1990s.
