@design_RG I am more interested in finding the devil 😜
@maison_faim I searched under various names, and no luck. Maybe a discrete Prince of Darkness here.
@design_RG Or maybe there is a way to summon the devil.
@maison_faim There certainly is, and I would not go there. 😉 😟
@maison_faim If you have the name of a twitter account doing that posting, you could look for a bot bringing it here, it's possible it exists.

@design_RG How long have you been using Mastodon?
@maison_faim Just for a month, believe it or not, and I wasn't even much of a user in Twitter. Never liked the short, cryptic or meaningless thingies there.
But I have been an active Forum user for years, and this Fediverse even reminds me of my early days in computing, calling local BBSes via dial up lines and modems.
All separate systems, locally run and administered, but connected so messages could flow, you could even get international messages thru.
Great fun. There was no public, commercial internet service you could buy, early 90s.
@design_RG Well, I grew up with the Internet so I guess I will never know.
@maison_faim There is a really good documentary about what it was like, how it worked on those days. It's called BBS the Documentary.
We were talking about it in an earlier thread - and I found a copy of it on YT. THere's no DVD for sale atm, so this is a good way to catch it.

It was 5 or 6 parts, this person posted it all in one video.

@design_RG Interesting!
@maison_faim Should point out that it's not all positive though, perfectionist tendencies being a drag sometimes. And we are kind of lone wolves too, I guess.
But I have been sharing things with you that I had already looked for, so it's easier and faster, that's the truth.
