In case you missed it, there are Mastodon apps for retro computers from the 1980s & 90s

@FediTips@social.growyourown.services my client for win9x is more complete than what you promote, but i guess this is yet another place where amount of stars matters more than actual code…

@domi

Sorry, I didn't know about yours! I'll add it to the list.

@FediTips now I need to make mastodon work in my sega dreamcast.

What is the less bloated web client?

[kim@vk5fj.net]

@FediTips

Dostodon; "A Pentium 133 or faster with at least 32MiB of RAM is recommended."

That is a lot of machine!
What hardware will it actually run on?

[profdc9@mastodon.social]

@FediTips I made a storage/Ethernet card. Do you support ethernet instead of serial for communication? I would have to imagine 19200 bps is very slow. It uses IP65 as the stack.

@FediTips What? MVS?

[adipoeserpursch@troet.cafe]

@FediTips I once worked on an MVS. The computer centre was about 20 x 20 metres...

@adipoeserPursch

Was it loud?

@kim

I think would have to ask the developer @dec_hl

Maybe they can help?

[feditips@social.growyourown.services]

@profdc9

I think that would be a question for the developer @colin_mcmillen ?

@Nexy

There's brutaldon if you want a minimalist web client:

@iotar @FediTips will you settle for https://wetdry.world/@enfys/113968670614531724 ?

[feditips@social.growyourown.services]

@halcy @iotar

Oh wow, teletext!

[feditips@social.growyourown.services]

p.s. Using Mastodon through even more retro platforms may be possible. If the platform has a web browser, it might be worth seeing if it works with the minimalist web client Brutaldon: https://brutaldon.org

[lianna@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@FediTips Is there one for Symbian?

[feditips@social.growyourown.services]

@lianna

Not that I know of, but it should be possible?
