For those of you who are old enough, remember 300 baud modems, back in the day? Remember logging in to a BBS (bulletin board system) and engaging in scintillating conversation? Well, those days never ended, really. Citadel, an Open Source collaboration software application, provides one with the ability to run a BBS, right on the Internet.
One such BBS, Uncensored, has undergone a transformation from the back-in-the-day dial-up to being a web-based browser. If you want that "old school" feel, you can still telnet in. Or, if you're a bit more savvy but still want the old-school, you can log in via SSH. If you need an SSH client, take a look at puTTY, an open-source SSH client for multiple platforms. To log in via SSH, connect to "bbs@uncensored.citadel.org"
Once you've logged in, check out the "rooms" -- especially the ones I've created, like the "Lavender Lounge."

Uncensored BBS
Welcome to the intersection of advocacy, journalism, and disruptive technology. I am Peter C. Frank an independent writer, digital creator, and consultant. This blog is my platform for incisive analysis—speaking #TruthToPower by exposing political opacity and challenging the status quo. My commentary focuses on the intersectionality of politics, tech, and social justice, specifically through the lens of LGBTQIA+, Disability, and Mental Health rights. I am a futurist and technologist charting a path toward solutions. My goal: to analyze governance and drive positive change. I've been blogging since January 2006 and am committed to rigorous, fact-driven journalism. Let's connect, share perspectives, and demand accountability together. #Journalism #Advocacy #PoliticalAnalysis #CTPolitics #LGBTQIA
