Here at media underground you'll be delighted to know that we don't do modern social media. If you're looking for me on Facebook or Xitter then you're clearly an idiot.

If you want to get in touch and have a conversation you'll either have to use your brain, come to my local pub, or use one of the trusted protocols in order to establish contact.

Here's a list of the protocols I use:

Email
Yes that's right, the good ol' humble email. You all have an email address that you probably know how to use. I just hope for your sake that it's not a Gmail account or that you access it through a web interface instead of using a proper email client. You can contact me here, but don't expect a speedy response:
mort (at) media-underground.net

IRC
I know! Right? IRC is still a thing and surprisingly popular it is still too. I have a Raspberry Pi running an IRC core 24/7 so the chatroom should always be open. Join me or leave a comment here:
#thesubverse on irc.libera.chat (my username: psybernaut)

Lemmy
This is probably the closest we're gonna get to social media folks. It's a fairly new fangled thing that you've probably never heard of and part of the fediverse. Be warned though, if it gets too popular I will probably jump ship:
@mortimer on @lemmy.world

ABOUT
>_

On October 5th 2001 media underground was born. Since that time the site has gone through many alterations and upgrades in an attempt to keep up to date with the latest advancements from Web 1.0 through to 2.0 and on towards Web 3.0.

This process has been completely fucking futile as big tech and social media have dominated the internet and turned it into an abominable shit show. So much so that over the last few years media underground practically went silent. Basically I couldn't be bothered trying to maintain a website when every fuckwit with a laptop or mobile phone jumped ship to Facebook and Xitter. Well, you all got what you fucking deserved.

I did try and warn you that it wasn't going to be good, but you all went ahead anyway... and now you've lost your freaking minds.

As a result - and as a statement that I don't give a shit about your modern internet - I've redesigned this site to be fully underground retro. Back to good old Web 1.0 when the internet was a wild west for everyone with a dial up modem and enough savvy and technical ability to get online and make a presence there.

So welcome weird wanderer of the digital wasteland to media underground. What you'll find here will be uncensored comments and links to shit that I find interesting (for my own reference and amusement) for no other reason than the sheer hell of it.
