We need to get MUDs more popular again. But that would require getting Telnet popular again.
I’ll always be able to play Balatro, Factorio, and he’ll, I’d go to text based MUDs first.

But why? You don’t need telnet to transfer text.

Because a MUD that isn't part of a BBS feels wrong to me.

Can you fill me in on what that means? Searching for mud doesn’t give me useful results.

People were playing text-based multiplayer, effectively mmos with PvP well before Tim-Berners Lee invented the Web Browser.

It means Multi User Dungeon. It's a networked multiplayer game, usually focused on dungeon-crawling as the name suggests. Early ones were based heavily on BD&D and AD&D, but others got more creative.

Way more even. Just look at emulation on Android, you can play good damn Sekiro on it by now.
Even if they manage to take away our desktops, Smartphones become beautifully powerful and can be docked to TVs and all via USB-C easily.
