#2Here's a listing of over 1000 Telnet and SSH enabled BBSes. Even lists a few dial-up BBSes! Very good find!

#5I really dislike the www bloat so I was excited to browse the list, unfortunately so far I mostly see ancap/libertarian/declinist posts (or just people who seem very sad and/or angry) as well as many far-right dogwhistles I recognize from 4chan.
Can somebody recommend more, uh, uplifting BBS communities?

Figures! I'd be staying away from all that for the same reasons. When I was a kid, it sure wasn't right wing. At least the boards I cruised.

I spent a lot of time on BBSs back in the day. There were some moderated tech support communities that were extremely tame, but most of it was like 4chan if 4chan was restricted to just your local calling area.
In person BBS Parties and later IRC Channel Parties were full of the greatest and most bizarre mix of people I have ever come across with a common interest. That's probably because with just the screen name and no avatar or graphics or profile info or anything, nobody divided into their usual social groups.

#8I suppose we'll never see an iOS "terminal/modem" that calls out from the phone to dial-up BBS's.
Anything like that for Android?

Now that is a tasteful design. So easy on my withered eyes. I may redesign my own balls-simple site to something similar.
