> Not to mention Mastodon as a potential option!  For what it's worth, there
is something to be said about the independence of a distributed network like
FTN and even being wide open offers its own form of 'security' - in a
different sense of the word.

But Mastadon is so bloated and needs a lot of resources. I stopped using it on
my desktop for that reason. Same with Discord.

The Telegram/Fido project is notable. It presents fido messages in a chat
style, but the whole system works very smoothly.

phone.  If you'd like to test it please register over on my test system @

I have joined your system to try it. Seems to work well. Inline editing and
quoting is doable. But would prefer the ability to have a larger font and
maybe standard black for the font instead of the paler offering. Even a dark
mode with white font would be nice.

I also notice that although an original netmail seemed to get sent to a z2
address ok, a R)eply from your system to a z2 message did not work.

The mypoint interface seems better than the sbbs one IMHO.
There is only one other adaptive/mobile interface that I recall was well done,
but I can't remember the name of the system now. Something like rocksolid bbs
I think.  The font and colour choice used there is excellent. The message
threads were easy to follow and navigate.

Looking forward to see significant improvements with mypoint! Good work.
