RetroFed Forum

A community for people who want to ask questions of communist denizens of the fediverse - questions both from people who know little about communism but are seeking out answers, to seasoned comrades who want to get thoughts from others.

This is not a debate comm. Pointed and challenging questions and follow-ups are welcome, but posts that devolve into back-and-forth comments that do not progress to resolution will be removed. For questioners, please stick to good-faith questioning. For responders, please approach these questions with charity and patience. No bullying.

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)
