Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Beginning around 1991, the creator of the television series Babylon 5, J. Michael Straczynski, participated in a number of Internet venues to discuss elements of his work with his fans, including the rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5 Usenet newsgroup, where he continued to communicate as late as March 2007.[1][2][3][4] This flow of information and feedback had a substantial impact on Babylon 5, as well as Straczynski's other shows and his fan base. This interaction pre-dated the coining of the term "blog", but is functionally similar.
As of June 2023, Straczynski continues to interact with his fans regularly on Twitter,[5] Patreon,[6] and Instagram.[7]
