Commodore was *the thing* in the 8 bit era.I hardly even heard about 8 bit Atari computers (like the 800 XL) and they seem great based on what I see.
I just started to care about them because of #FujiNet .

Commodore was *the thing* in the 8 bit era.Here's a sample screenshot of FujiNet-Chat running on #atari800 with #Fujinet-PC on #Linux. FujiNet-Chat is an #IRC client for #Atari8bit computers.
I got FujinetChat to work on my Atari 800XL! But only after fixing some code in fujinet-firmware to get the PROCEED signal properly handled for SIO2PC.
The fix was submitted as my first PR to the fujinet-firmware project on github. It was accepted. :)
FujinetChat is an IRC client for Atari 8-bit computers written by Urchlay.
A thread on AtariAge about FujinetChat:
Here's the repo:

#atari8bit user @w1k added TURBO 2000 cassette format support to #FujiNet. He's not a coder, so he asked Claude to help him. W guidance from us and our CI-CD pipeline, he was able to make it work, without a dev environment.

All of the social networks have become so overrun with autoslop that I can't promote anything that #FujiNet is doing.
Need other options and other people to help cut through the noise.
====================
UPDATE: Just saw your first vibecoded commit. Of course it's your team's choice, but I'm literally avoiding (F)OSS projects with AI slop and thought your project held to this standard as well.
Your work with #FujiNet is incredible (I lurk on your discord as well).
On the Fedi, I don't think it's hitting several large groups that I think would be really interested: retro hardware and retro operating systems enthusiasts. There are also retro gamers and retro game developers here, but they use the following tags:
#retrogaming
#retroComputing
#retrogames
#retro
You'll hit a larger audience with these.
Also have Fujinet posts copied to a list, so I don't miss them and can boost.
