My BBS got an overhaul recently and should be a lot faster now. As always, you can access it in your terminal or via this web portal:

http://bbs.ansiwave.net/bbs/

Quick recap:

• You can embed ANSI art and MIDI music directly in posts (it has a built-in synthesizer)
• Logins are completely public key based; no passwords, email verification, captchas, or other nonsense
• The board is stored in a git repo, so you can browse it completely offline
• Written in Nim and open source: https://github.com/ansiwave/ansiwave

My basic thesis is that a good Reddit alternative should focus on fresh ideas and data portability, not complicated p2p / federation protocols. By storing the data in a simple git repo, it can be easily forked and re-hosted if you disagree with my moderation practices.

More importantly, ANSI art and MIDI music are dope and if you embrace them, your life will be dope too.
