I've gained 400+ followers in a day because I went viral on the birdsite, and if anything, I hope I encouraged people to Google "demoscene" after reading my bio.
For a crash course, I'll shamelessly plug my own Demoscene website: https://prods.page
My site is powered by data offered up by https://www.pouet.net
An excellent resource if you're interested in this flavor of retro computing.
This is the Vranas instance.
