Re: "BBS and Gemini beginner question"
That clears a lot up, thanks all! I actually came to bbs.geminispace via a "Bubble" link which confused me to no end, so appreciate that explanation too. The inspiration from Reddit is a nice touch, being able to segregate into topics. I'm starting to see the subtle differences now between places like Station, Antenna and here, also where the content is hosted, and how a gemlog, or tinylog can be aggregated (or not). I feel like content is quite discoverable with all these tools. Appreciate the hard work you all put in to make it so!

BBS and Gemini beginner question — I am new to Gemini and starting to see some deeper features like this bbs.geminispace.org space. I have come across the term BBS, but didn't expect to see it here in Gemini. Is BBS protocol agnostic? I'm guessing it is. What helps differentiate between a BBS, aggregates and regular socials? Is it the access via the terminal? Sorry if I'm sounding dumb, but would love to hear from real folks what really jumps out at you when you hear "BBS".
