Gregory's ServerWill miss the #retrocomputing community on Twitter but many if not most people I followed there have made it over to Mastodon

@thomasfuchs Has LGR moved over to this side yet? He hasn't posted on Twitter in days.

@thomasfuchs You are aware of the fact that you can follow hashtags here? I just today started following #retrocomputing and #vintagecomputing

@thomasfuchs I will never forget the feel of flipping that switch and the sound of the 20mb hard drive spinning up. And having the hd was something special at the time.

@thomasfuchs my sense so far is that mastodon will have a much higher ratio of retrocomputing nerds than twitter. the self-hosted server aspect seems to attract the same kinds of folks that ran BBSes in the old days.

@vga256 yeah Iโve seen the bbs comparison a few times, that makes a lot of sense

@thomasfuchs hard to say so early on if that'll pan out. I could be happy with a new Fidonet :)

@thomasfuchs It could turn out to be a good thing in the end. Change can be good. I'm still trying to figure Mastodon out.

@thomasfuchs I feel like Mastodon itself qualifies as #RetroComputing somehow. |
