beige.party is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
A home to friendly weirdos. The Grey Gardens of the Fediverse (but beige). Occasionally graphically cacographic. Definitely probably not a cult (though you'll never be 100% sure). Beige-bless 🙏

Toot a photo of a computer that first arrived in the year of your birth!

(Here's mine: the IBM System/360)

Photograph of the front panel of an IBM System/360 mainframe—an adult person height red box about 1.5 metres deep, with a panel of blinkenlights and rotary dials (and some buttons). A desk sits in front of it, presumably for the operator's teletype printer.
