a pleasantly-retro non-algorithm-driven old school BBS system:
I can remember chatting with people across the world on IRC over our 56k modem, reading forums filled with interesting (human-made) content, and feeling that magic of escaping into a playground of possibility. We lost an Internet we could explore and discover in an organic way for something synthetic, curated, and forced. I miss that sense of discovery and searching for new ways to connect with people online. Forums were an obscure and fascinating source of content, easily searchable receptacles of information on specific subject matters. I've grown weary of being spoon fed by algorithms made by tech bro platforms, so that's why I made quxnet. A place that repudiates all of that, and restores the internet era counterculture that made the web worth caring about in the first place.
See you on the boards.
