Soziale Netzwerke sorgen permanent für schlechte Laune – aber man bleibt drin oder zieht bestenfalls zur nächsten kommerziellen Plattform. Es gibt jedoch eine andere, dezentrale und selbstbestimmte Tradition, sich digital zu vernetzen. Gleb J. Albert zeichnet die Geschichte dieser Alternative nach – von Mailboxen #BBS bis #mastodon

A new update from #gotpapers

It turns out that we forgot to put online some of the #C64 #papermags that AVH/Radwar generously provided to us back in 2019. And what a treasure trove this is! A completely lost issue of CCCP (#3), a better scan of another CCCP issue (#9), and a whole bunch of Illegal issues that had been preserved only as type-ups before. Now you can enjoy the real scans, featuring lots of graphics and the famous Cracker Map of 1988! https://gotpapers.scene.org/?p=4242 #demoscene

Old Papermags from AVH, Part 2 | got papers?

As a follow-up to my previous post: Did you know that since a few weeks, it is possible to comment on #BBS entries on demozoo.org? Get yourself a SceneID account, log in, and share your memories of your old favourite boards - or maybe even your own, if you were a #sysop ! Try it out, like here: https://demozoo.org/bbs/3/ (scroll all the way down to the comment field!)

Did you know that Gargaj made a scene BBS world map based on demozoo.org data? It's awesome to see how this decentralized network(s) spread over wide parts of the globe back in the 1980s and 1990s, to areas where we would not even assume scene activity: https://conspiracy.hu/minisites/demozoo-bbs-map/
