We show off wonderful convergence of retro computing and open source microblogging clients that you can try for yourself!

A collection of really amazing open source projects, where people are getting Mastodon clients to work on 70’s mainframes, the Apple II, and all kinds of crazy things.

      They really exist! Open source communities can be… interesting, to say the least.

      These are 100% real. Many of them require hardware augmentation to handle HTTPS traffic, but they all work.
