It is not a Mastodon-compatible social networking server; rather, it is just a client, like the Android or iOS client for Mastodon you may already be using, but it runs in a web server, and is accessed through a web browser. The web browser that brutaldon targets is [Lynx][2]. Of course, you can use it in a more heavy-weight graphical browser, as well as other text browsers such as [w3m][3] or [elinks][4]. + +[0]:http://brutalistwebsites.com/ +[0.5]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2.0#%22Web_1.0%22 +[1]: https://joinmastodon.org/ +[2]: https://lynx.browser.org/ +[3]: https://w3m.sourceforge.net/ +[4]: http://elinks.or.cz/ + +Brutaldon is not ready for use yet.
