RetroFed Forums

This is a support community for amputees and their families, to discuss the issues facing those with limb loss in a safe, friendly environment.

Rules

No gatekeeping. All amputations are painful and no amputation is worthier of respect than others. All amputations are welcome here.
No soliciting
No politics
Limit graphic material to the strict minimum and tag it with NSFW
Be nice and respectful

Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.

Open Registration with Application questionnaire.

If you have a question or comment you can post in !meta@retrofed.com or message @DosDude@retrofed.com or @Die4Ever@retrofed.com

In case of downtime and/or emergency, we will post updates on @DosDude@mastodon.social

Some rules we try to uphold:

Be civil. Bigotry is not welcome. This includes (but is not limited to): transphobia, queerphobia, racism, ageism and ableism. We do not promote hate.
Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)
