  • Nice!

    Nice to see some other active users here. These retro communities are a nice break from the dystopia of modern social media. No surveillance, no censorship, no spam bots, no shadowbanning...
    Lunatics are good at thinking outside the box.

    Oh.. I'm sure there is plenty of surveillance.

    censorship.. well, if the sysop doesn't like you, you're out.

    spam bots.. yeah, not much of those here. ;)

    shadowbanning.. hmmm, i guess not.

    Lunatics.. welcome to the club!

    Yup! PS: He's one of my new users. He entered alias names in both slots (grin). In this echo, I'm fine with it! Lord knows I've had many a 'sounds rel name' that isn't. You'd have to back a bit but we had 'John Smith III'. He was in witness protection, if curious.

    As RC13, entered a lady sysop o=under a fake male name for similar. When I turned it over, I told the next they existed andwhy, but did not tell him anything else. He was fine with it.
