Teaching people how to BBS is ashowstopper for most. I think people are
so inculcated to a single feed that a group of forums organized by topic
would be alien to them.

I think the best we could hope for is getting BBS messages to
ActivityPub somehow, maybe re-appearing in Mastodon insome form?

I know some people ported BBS echoes to web messsage board software, but
even those are dead nowadays.

Yeah, I get a couple. echicken's web4 has come a long way to making the
web an option for BBSing, I've seen a couple of people who've never
dialedin/telnetted into a BBS using it.
