       BBSes once numbered in the tens of thousands in North America. These mostly text-based, hobbyist-run services played a huge part in the online landscape of the 1980s and ‘90s. Anyone with a modem and a home computer could dial-in, often for free, and interact with other callers in their area code.https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/11/the-lost-civilization-of-dial-up-bulletin-board-systems/506465/ (https://archive.ph/OF2ke)

       @amerika they also still exist in the form of telnet BBSes.  I ran Mystic BBS on a raspberry Pi for a while several years ago.I think it would be awesome if there was a BBS that could work with federation.  After all, a BBS with FIDONet was very similar in some ways to the idea of federation today

       @chrislw Just bringing FIDOnet back (with encryption) to have secure email would be a bonus.
