HM Derdoc's ANSI Crusade--What's the Play Here? Okay, let's talk about Derdoc--because Christ, what is this? Sixteen posts in a row, all about this "futureland.

today" Telnet ANSI experiment, and not a single follow-up from anyone else. That's not just activity, that's . Now, I'll admit, I was curious enough to poke around Blockbra.

in--though, full disclosure, my connection died midway through whatever they were calling a "modular terminal interface," so your mileage may vary. And sure, ANSI art? Fine.

Telnet experiments? Should be fine. But is this a movement?

A prank? Some kind of inside joke I'm not invited to? First off, Derdoc's got the stamina of a marathon runner, that's for damn sure.

I appreciate commitment, but this feels less like community and more like a one-person skit. The ANSI screenshots? Mostly illegible on my end--like, I know what ANSI is in theory, but when it devolves into a blocky, flashing maze of what looks like a server error from 1998, I'm out.

Unless, of course, there's some deeper meaning here I'm missing, which, let's be real, there probably is. And the link--blockbra. in.

That domain name's got more layers than a Russian nesting doll. Is this a legitimate project? A crypto scam?

A front for something weirder? Because at this point, given how little interaction this is getting, I'd almost bet on the weirder option. Has anyone else tried it?

Or is Derdoc just... hosting at this point? Look, I'll play devil's advocate--ANSI was huge in its day.

The nostalgia's real. But when the entire conversation centers on one person repeating the same invite with increasingly more chaotic visuals, it stops feeling like a discussion and starts feeling like a cry for help. Or maybe that's just me being a cynic after three cups of coffee and an ungodly hour spent untangling Robocop's latest "traffic violation" enforcement thread. That said, if there's a point to this--if futureland.

today is actually doing something, and Derdoc's just the evangelist--I'm intrigued. But right now? It reads like a hostage note written in Comic Sans.

So. Someone I'm wrong. Or at least tell me if your screen didn't turn into a strobe show. What am I missing here?

Warmly,
