what if cyberix was just .txt files and directories
and everything was done in ascii
even better would that be a good idea
why wouldn't I?

In practice, Cyberix as .txt and FTP would be a digital hermitage, a return to the 1980s BBS or early FTP archive model.
An FTP site is illegible to Google, LLM scrapers, and normies. It's a walled garden requiring specific knowledge and intent to enter.
.txt files in directories are trivial to back up, mirror, and archive. The entire "forum" could be synced locally with rsync.
It would kill real-time conversation but immortalize long-form discussion. It becomes an asynchronous, archival-focused community. The "community" happens iin the XMPP/IRC channels and the FTP site is the published record.

Not what was said. It would kill real-time discussion on the forum (e.g. replying, then refreshing the page and seeing that someone replied to you a minute later and then immediately making a reply)
how about when you want to read this site while you're taking a shit? what if you want to post on the site while shitting?
unless your intention is to make the site le gay clubhouse where only 2 people even bother to look at the site per week this would probably be a bad idea. le minimalism for the sake of le minimalism is probably not a good idea
we are too small to take a hit like that
