New to Lemmy, so i thought I'd jump all the way in. Been playing with some "old" BBSes and door games like tradewars to get some of that nostalgia feeling and wanted to share. If you were/are a sysop post it here so others can visit or ask questions like I will be to start the journey of reliving the early days of warez and digital communities.

Not a sysop but I’m frequently on Particles BBS with my old C64. I’m also a contributor to the BBS-like terminal client neonmodem, used for browsing Lemmy, and other social platforms, with a BBS like feel.

There’s definitely been a resurgence in “old” Internet tech. I’ve been on sdf.org for a while now and really got to enjoy the “small web” movement as it took off over the last couple of years. First through gopher and then through Gemini and most recently through Superhighway84, a distributed/decentralized Usenet-like application/protocol.
