| | ===== SDF - The Ethical Social Network ===== |
| | |
| | === What 'Social Network' means to us (a history lesson) === |
| | |
| | Electronic Social Networking has been around since the days of the ARPAnet. In the late 1960s and through the 1970s the ARPAnet allowed researchers to communicate and collaborate via //Electronic Mail// and FTP //File Sharing//. Protocols such as SEND allowed for //Instant Messaging// among users of systems and systems of other networks. //Electronic Mailing Lists// were //Discussion Groups// that later spawned the largest //Distributed Social Network// of the 1980s: USENET and its transport system UUCP. Paralleling this were many privately owned Social Networks called //Electronic Bulletin Boards//. These were usually stand alone, but some used //Interconnected Conferencing// and were linked together as //Nodes//, while some were also part of the UUCP network. USENET eventually made its way back to the ARPA/Internet where it continued to reign through the 1990s as the largest //Distributed Social Network// and it is still widely used to this day. |

| | To the users of the SDF Public Access UNIX System, 'SDF Social' is based on the concepts and principles of the early Social Networks that we have always been a part of and not the highly commercialized, for-profit and ethically questionable Social Networks of the late 1990s and 2000s. |
| | |
| | Simply put, SDF has always been about Collaboration, Non-Commercialism, Choice and Privacy. |
| | |
| | === Shell Based Systems (only Accessible via an SDF shell account) === |
| | |
| | Most of these systems have been in daily use since our start as a BBS in 1987 |
| | |
| | * notes - send an 'at login time' displayed notification to a user |
| | * msg - send an instant message to a user across SDF systems (Based on TOPS-20 SEND) |
| | * bboard - a threaded multi discussion bulletin board |
| | * com - a multi room interactive chat (Based on TOPS-20 COMMODE) |
| | * oneliner - a oneline message (anonymous) |
| | * happening - an anonymous journal |
| | |
| | === Web Based Systems (some are enabled via the 'maint' command at the shell) === |
| | |
| | Most of these systems are included in the [[:menu_of_sdf_offerings|menu of SDF offerings]]. |
