RetroFed Forum

A place to catalogue and discuss the odd, silly, nonsensical, and sometimes malicious neologisms of the internet.

Please include the techbro babble word or phrase in quotes in the title of your post. If known, please include the definition in the title or body of the post.

For babbles found in the wild, please include a link to where you encountered them, as this will help our team of volunteer babologists identify and classify it.

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)
