Short description
Grab a chai latté or an americano and have a seat at the Dialup Cybercafé. Our iMac G3's sport 56Kbaud modems, Internet Explorer 4, and your choice of tangerine, strawberry, grape, blueberry and lime.
Long description
The Dialup Cybercafé is your premier destination for dorks in love with the nostalgia of the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, the early web, and retrocomputing.
Our federated feed is focused on fun, creative and positive posts.
A note about politics: We've had enough of the endless doomscrolling and political coverage on social media. Moderators actively prune out super negative and nasty political #hashtags from the Federated feed. If you're here to hear about happened on Fox or CNN last night, this isn't the place for you.
