Simply        refer to Fidonet/othernet message areas as alternatives to the        FB/TikTok/Twitter places, but cater to a more pure message        style.              Then, a good intro might be assisting with a Hotdoged/        Aftershock installation. Or even easier, installing Telegram,        and getting things going with the %HELP command to the        @Fido2telegram bot! :D              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.50        * Origin: Get MOBILE on your mobile! http://shorturl.at/cfsJ0 (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 153/757 221/1 6 360 229/426 664 280/464 292/854 423/81 460/58       SEEN-BY: 770/1       PATH: 221/1 6 229/664 426           |
