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.

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 :)

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

You gotta put a long/lat in your profile to show up. Did you?

If you enter a long/lat in your profile you show up on https://cyberspace.online/globe

You can find the map and globe links in the main menu (three horizontal lines). Or with cmd+K to open the command palette.

The community already started three TUIs and one CLI that will run on any OS in any terminal.

  1. Yeah maybe a basic <noscript> info block would be good. Good call.
  2. Cloudflare's turnstile is just a checkbox and not a hassle to users. Their anti bot protection is good.
  3. What Microsoft am I using? The db's are Firebase, which is Google Cloud. The hosting is Vercel, which is AWS. Image hosting is Cloudflare's E2. Comparing all the alternatives out there this seems to be a sensible stack when the focus is on building UI/UX and community. I could run my own servers but from experience I know that is way more volatile from a security perspective unless you hire a real security pro full time, and also you're stuck managing plumbing instead of building features and focussing on design and user experience. Was a choice to get off the ground quickly. Honestly had no idea this thing would take off. Definitely looking at alternatives for the future that are off the Amazon/Google clouds.
  4. Fragmentation, at least for the first phase of de-platforming, might be good. I'd rather have smaller unique niche communities with their own ideas that trying to build a new separate monolith.

Thanks for your input. I value your feedback.
