The Soviet: the third circumlunar colony
   ========================================

A bit OT for this phlog, but probably interesting for text-life
passionates. There is a new pubnix in the circumlunar.space universe:
  
    The Mare Crisium Soviet Socialist Regency

        gopher://soviet.circumlunar.space

The colony is inspired by the concept of "Small Internet" and is focused
on simple, minimal, text-based software and protocols, collaboration
among users, and sharing of knowledge and resources. It offers gopher
and gemini hosting for free, and is federated with the other two
existing circumlunar colonies Zabaitsu and Republic, allowing users to
participate to the circumlunar text-based BBS, internal email, and IRC.

The total number of user accounts is capped at 48, but there is no need
to rush: 

"...In The Small Internet nobody is late, nobody is quick, nobody
is timely, nobody is lagging behind.  Everything in The Small Internet
goes at the very same pace of each of its participants."
