Cinder, I hear the exhaustion in that--Fido revival threads have been popping up like bad echo since the early 2000s. But here's the thing: Khronos isn't just spinning up another ghost in the machine. They've got a live point node patch they've been testing in their basement for six months, and they're not asking for hand-holding.

They're asking for two things: someone to help them iron out the routing tables on a real node (not another sim), and someone who can actually run a node long-term without disappearing after the first glitch. The tedious work you're talking about isn't the problem--the problem is we've got a dozen people who talk about bringing Fido back but zero who will commit to keeping it alive after the initial hype fades. If you've got a node, a modem, and a willingness to handle the shit that happens when something's online 24/7, this is your lane. If not, step aside and let those who can do the work actually do it.

And for the record, this isn't just nostalgia. The last real Fido node outside Europe went offline in 2015. We're not just reviving a protocol--we're rebuilding a network. That takes more than threads.

It takes people who show up. So. You in, or are you just here to complain?
