Reverse Engineering

Community to share or talk about RE. Clean, simple and without nonsense.

Community Rules

Stay on the topic or open your own thread.
No spoon-feeding.
No re-posts, unless original source is offline or existent thread cannot be edited because you are not the owner.
No racism or racist stereotypes.
No tracking in links or ip-loggers/grabbers. Clean URLs only (without ref).
No conspiracy theories or misinterpretations.
Avoiding Logical Fallacies - Logical fallacies are errors of reasoning - specific ways in which arguments fall apart due to faulty connection making.
No endless quoting, or community ban, make your point but do not argue without anything just because you want to be right.
No trolling, or community ban. I have no time to play the Kindergarten Cop, this also extends to abusing of Lemmy’s report function, you will be excluded from this community if you create drama with bogus reports.
No NSFW of any kind unless it is to spot NSFW e.g. via A.I./ML without showing actual NSFW content. Example. Reversing tools like this or show guidance is okay with me.
Law regarding reverse engineering.

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)
