  Hello HN, sharing a forked Mastodon instance I set up themed in a Windows XP style with a focus on retro tech.

  Brief overview if you haven't used Mastodon before, Mastodon[0] is a Twitter-like, federated social network with an open source code base[1] that uses the W3C standardized ActivityPub[2] protocol to create an interoperable social network.

  This is a beta, so expect some theming issues here an there. Source code for this instance is available at github[3], and please open issues if you find any bugs or style issues.
