The place to discuss "Retro Communities" like BBS, Fido-Net, Metrolink, Doors games and old forums/technology and even ANSI art.

“Retro Communities” is not just about old technologies, it’s also about the “feel” of those older communities. Text walls are allowed, asking questions is encouraged. Making a mistake is not a tragedy. You are welcome here!

Any tips or advice on a guide that walks new people through retro communities? Something along the lines of, what older systems are still in use, which are seeing a resurgence, or have been adapted to modern needs. I’d like to brainstorm a way to help people connect and create the feel of the older systems with the options available from the fediverse.

Where would you like us to go? This is a new community on a relatively new medium and your input/questions are appreciated.
