In celebration of the Old Computer Challenge 2023 and to help people get on the fediverse on their retro computers, I have setup a Brutaldon instance :D Brutaldon is a wonderful Mastadon client that is sparse and viewable using any older browser that supports CSS (ie; netsurf, older firefox). HTTP and HTTPS is available as well. Works well on my SGI Octane2 as you can see, but it should work on any platform with a decent browser. Netscape support forthcoming.
