Retro Communities

The place to discuss "Retro Communities" like BBS, Fido-Net, Metrolink, Doors games and old forums/technology and even ANSI art.

“Retro Communities” is not just about old technologies, it’s also about the “feel” of those older communities. Text walls are allowed, asking questions is encouraged. Making a mistake is not a tragedy. You are welcome here!

Flow

I'd like to make this flow a public document, as a visual aid to crowdsource putting pieces together for a community server.

the big pictures is a few projects, public and private and will hopefully allow others to follow and create their own as we go. I'd like to collaborate on what would be a solid system that a single or small group could put together and duplicate. Every aspect should be discussed, debated, and voted on. Best practices adapted and short comings pointed out. I'd like it to be open source and integrate together in some fashion. We can break into fine details over time. This is a long term hobby project, not an all in one weekend project.

I think the first items to discuss are

  1. Any Interest?
  2. How to host this Flow - currently on Github
  3. How to post the progress in segments so not a mega thread
  4. Which flow software would work the best and give all people on all devices the ability to view/edit - currently on diagrams.net

Items down the road

  • other Fediverse items to incorporate
  • Hardware to run it all
  • How to manage access so the community can all participate

Posting a link to this in https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted as its probably in their wheel house as well
