In celebration of the Old Computer Challenge 2023 and to help people get on the fediverse on their retro computers, I have setup a Brutaldon instance :D Brutaldon is a wonderful Mastadon client that is sparse and viewable using any older browser that supports CSS (ie; netsurf, older firefox). HTTP and HTTPS is available as well. Works well on my SGI Octane2 as you can see, but it should work on any platform with a decent browser. Netscape support forthcoming.
awesome! just logged in via Lynx and it's great!
And please, what is that terminal / effect?! It's pretty rad. Thanks also to Praetor!
it is the 'Futuristic' theme from cool-retro-term, it has several built-in themes and is very customizable!
