#
[tantek] what is ASCII art?
#
Loqi ASCII art is the use of text characters, typically ASCII code points 33-127 (7-bit visible), nearly always in a monospace font to create coarse, abstract, and usually monochromatic art, that members of the IndieWeb community sometimes post on their sites or use as home page decorations https://indieweb.org/ASCII_art
#
[tantek] there we go
#
[tantek] if anyone has examples on their site of ASCII art posts or decorations, please add!
