In case you’ve been living under a rock (or maybe spending too much time on TikTok) you’ll want to check out Cyberspace.online, a text-only social network with retro cyber visual themes and no Like button.
Cyberspace.online is spreading like wildfire with retro enthusiasts on cyberdeck subreddits and Hackaday.
What’s the attraction? For one thing there’s no images, only ASCII art and text like in the BBS days, forcing you to use your thinking cap and actual read text instead of just letting the AI slop ooze into your brain by ways of your eyeballs.
As with any Cybertopic, there’s debate as to why, but as we discussed with Alex a few weeks ago, it’s more about the feeling and the resistance to the status quo more than anything.
If you need some inspiration for what to post on your cyberwall, I’d highly recommend Where the Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins Of the Internet, a detailed history of how engineers created the ARPANET, the basis of the Internet we use today.
A particular memorable section describes the creation of Request for Comments. Perhaps a theme that could be explored in Cyberspace?
See you over there, follow us at @uconsole !
