Don’t remember any other details about the modem other than the speed (56k). Also, that it was significantly cheaper to dial-up during the night. I guess that could be the reason why I grew up as a night owl. 😅

Thanks for doing this experiment! I was really curious if it was technically possible (but not using Mastodon so wasn’t able to test it myself), and now I know 😊

This is really interesting to hear, never thought of these services allowing enough access to effectively use something self-hosted for consolidation. Will definitely look into it!
