Has anyone ever built a Mastodon client for Commodore 64?
This is actually feasible. Here’s a Commodore 64 modem.
You’d need a few extra layers in between, though. The C64 can’t speak ActivityPub directly. You’d run a lightweight bridge on a modern machine that handles HTTPS, WebFinger, and JSON, then pass simplified text over serial to the C64. The C64 just needs to display posts, send basic commands, and push text back to the bridge.
It’s not elegant, but it’s absolutely doable.
