[tantek] Now this is how you rebuild on an old silo domain: https://ca98am79.medium.com/i-bought-friendster-for-30k-heres-what-i-m-doing-with-it-d5e8ddb3991d
#
[tantek] You have to physically bump phones in person in order to add someone as a friend!
#
[tantek] What is Friendster
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Friendster" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Friendster is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[capjamesg] Oooh I love that!
#
[tantek] Yeah I may have to play with this
#
[capjamesg] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpotPass_and_StreetPass#StreetPass let people with 3DSes communicate when in close proximity too.

[capjamesg] ZodiacalComet I wish they still made the 3DS. It was such a good console.
#
ZodiacalComet Ye, you get to play the entire DS family of games which is full of hidden gems
#
ZodiacalComet Makes me regretful that I didn't kept the one I had, now that is so much easier to hack it
