If there were to be a console-first, text-centric social network without images would you use it?

Which features would you want in such a network and its terminal interface?

@octade when I read 'console first', my brain immediately went to console gaming systems and then 'text only' made me want to die thinking about trying to type things with a video game controller and an on screen keyboard 😆🪦

    LOL ... Your remark conjured in my mind an image of myself trying to navigate a feed timeline with an Atari 2600 joystick.

      @octade I feel like there may be a weird niche market for such a thing, LOL

        @octade if it used activity pub and connected to the rest of the 'verse I would. Or at least I would tell people I did.

            @octade That's basically IRC, isn't it?

              I'm thinking social-centric with profiles, feeds, and timelines, and DECENTRALIZED. No server necessary. Users have custody of their own keys kind of vibe ...

              People are obsessed with images and video, so most people use the social media platforms. I'm thinking of those of us who are sick of the audio-visual rage outlet and want to read.

                @octade Well, along those lines I imagine social web that is distributed with something like BitTorrent in a compressed chunks that are being uncompressed and read entirely locally. Akin to some sort of convoluted CVS, but without conflicts.
                Your own additions will be merged like deltas and uploaded to the network.
                I believe compressed text shouldn't require too much space and bandwidth.
                There's a lot of downsides to this, though. One of them is impossibility to delete anything for good.

                  @OCTADE Such a network would have very few users. It would be too niche. IMHO. But I would love it.

                    What kind of features and functions would make it even worthwhile (except a gaudy display full of memes and pictures)?
