Another day, another burst of new users from Twitter who are kind of confused about this whole “instance” thing. Here’s an analogy that might work for older folks like me:
Each Mastodon instance is a BBS. And they are all connected behind the scenes, kind of like FidoNet or WWIVNet.
We don’t have any door games, though. Sorry.
@anthracite If we wanted door games we'd go back to FriendFace, lol. (Actually I loved L.O.R.D. and Exitilus growing up - there's a browser port of Exitilus! I'm sure there's one for LORD out there too.)
Aw thanks for that nostalgia flashback. I forgot about all those things.
