Take this, nobody talked about ICQ or email.

Fragment artykułu o FidoNet na polskiej Wikipedii Ostatnim netem, który powstał w czasach rozkwitu Polskiego FidoNetu w roku 1995 był West Net (2:482) w którym funkcje koordynatorów pełnili odpowiednio: Sebastian Dratwa, Andrzej Łukaszewski oraz Marcin Trzaska. https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidonet

These were - especially once #Fidonet came along the first decentralized and literally federated social media platforms. I do expect there was likely some lessons learned back then which could inform future choices of the open social web […]

My first endeavor into social networks was with a #FidoNet node in the early 1990s.
Don’t think I’ve been so excited/curious about a tool for building social networks as I’m about @bonfire ever since.
That’s all good. Great, even.
What’s sad is that a huge part of that stems from where the […]

Looking into getting #FidoNet running again. #JustBecause
But it looks like a bit of a hellscape to get up and running.
My question is, what do you get via FidoNet in 2025? Anything even remotely interesting?
Lol, I see people whining about voice input in #Windows11 and it reminds me of good old days of #Fidonet, when lots of people were complaining about the UI in #Windows95 and saying that only console apps with a keyboard were true and that all GUI apps with a mouse should burn in hell 😊

Telecom and BBS pioneer Nick Andrew joins the Stray Pointers podcast to talk about a TRS-80 Model I workalike ( the System-80). With hardware modifications, Nick wrote and ran his own BBS on the System-80 in the 80's.

I'm starting to see some hypocrisy and a ittle anti-semitism (any WAAY too many cat videos and/or reposts )from a few people I follow.
Rather than engage with them (I'm a 15 year survivor of #fidonet (look it up) flame wars) it's much easier to just unfollow.

Holy shit! @tomjennings, der Gründer von #FidoNet (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FidoNet meinem ersten Sozialmedium (vor 35 Jahren, als die noch #BBS hießen) ist im #Fediverse / auf #Mastodon!

The first computer I encountered as a kid was a 386 DOS/Windows 3.1 box. Thanks to a couple BBS's in local dialing distance and to #fidonet from there, I then grew up drenched in text lore without realizing it: mostly peculiarly academic focused #UNIX stuff and all sorts of 8-bit recollections […]

I'm not done yet, but it's a start. I can't be bother to automate it for this one-off 😉

@tomjennings @joho http://www.fidonet.itu.se/ft.htm seems to have working links to #fidonet technical documents still. Not sure how up to date it is (but I guess most stuff hadn't changed in a long time).

I was tagged in the 'Blog Question Challenge 2025' by @markpitblado (thanks!). For me, this includes highlighting great tools like @eleventy, @drafts, and @ia – and a trip down memory lane and #FidoNet.
If it weren't for the supportive #11ty community here on Mastodon, this post would have […]
Ein nicht-toxisches Netzwerk ist z.B. das #TrustCafe, gegründet vom WP-Erfinder Jimmy Wales.
Wir könnten auch das internationale #FidoNet als werbefreies & unabhängiges Mailboxnetz (gab es vor dem Internet) auferstehen lassen. Wer die #Netiquette mehrfach missachtete, wurde vom SysOp gesperrt.
