Nice to see some other active users here. These retro communities are a nice break from the dystopia of modern social media. No surveillance, no censorship, no spam bots, no shadowbanning...

spam bots.. yeah, not much of those here. ;)

shadowbanning.. hmmm, i guess not.

Yup! PS: He's one of my new users. He entered alias names in both slots (grin). In this echo, I'm fine with it! Lord knows I've had many a 'sounds rel name' that isn't. You'd have to back a bit but we had 'John Smith III'. He was in witness protection, if curious.

As RC13, entered a lady sysop o=under a fake male name for similar. When I turned it over, I told the next they existed andwhy, but did not tell him anything else. He was fine with it.
