I would like to announce a public server running #brutaldon: brutaldon.online/

Brutaldon is a brutalist, Web 1.0 web interface for Mastodon. You can use it as a client for any instance. Currently you do not need a separate brutaldon account. It is compatible with almost any web browser, including text-mode browsers like lynx, w3m, or eww.

Screenshots, issues tracker, and source code are available at github.com/jfmcbrayer/brutaldo.

Have fun!

Alternative #Mastodon frontends:
* Halcyon
* Pinafore
* Brutaldon

Are there any others that people are aware of?
