uu.net is probably older than the ISC:

|  With funding in the form of a loan from Usenix, UUNET Communications
|  Services began operations in 1987 as a non-profit corporation providing
|  Usenet feeds, e-mail exchange, and access to a large repository of
|  software source code and related information. 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUNET#Early_existence>

ISC was only founded in 1994, almost a decade later.

So probably moderators.uu.net was first and superseded by
moderators.isc.org later on.
