RetroFed Forum

Community for identifying and discussing science news as well as microphotographs, microscopy techniques, and microbial processes in general.

Kindly be empathetic and kind to others.Trolling and spamming will not be tolerated.

Keep it Civil - It’s NOT OK to say another USER is a (pejorative) or a paid (pejorative).

Please be respectful, even if you don't agree.

Don't personally attack people. Don't call them names.

Be grown-ups and don't downvote a bunch of posts just because you don't like the poster or the idea of the community.

Making the community a friendly & supportive place is our goal.

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)
