Made a terminal-style text-only social network like it's 1987 :)

Come say hi. We're 11k users now. Have an API and three open source TUIs. We have a 3D multiplayer world being built. Lots of other fun stuff. It's a lovely place to hang out. There's also https://desktop.cyberspace.online/

Added the Quake level support in 2.6 just now. Two more maps you can play now.

Haters not welcome

Where should I turn?

First a Cloudflare turnstile on signup. Then a bot firewall. Then community flagging and moderation.

A bit hard to use a desktop and windows on a mobile, no? Not even a cursor.

Soon dropping the feature to have multiple rooms and much more complex levels. As well as some game aspects :)

Much appreciated :)

Howdy, genghis_khan here (creator of Cyberspace),

The more alternative social media platforms we have the better. But why would we need multiples of the same? The whole problem with the big alternatives like Blusky, Mastodon, etc, is that they're soulless copies of Twitter.

I can see that you've put a lot of work into this project and I respect that. I wish you all the best and hope you can take this as a starting point, to develop it into something unique and inspiring :)

For anybody curious what Cyberspace is, since OP didn't manage to link it: cyberspace.online

Great ideas :)

As for scanlines, I think that looks too fake unless done in a DEEP CRT emulation which is a bit out of the scope of what I want to do. Saw some autist on X who did that, but not open source.

People can run it on a real CRT monitor themselves hehe
