Summarized Guidelines:

Be polite: Treat each other with respect. No slurs (ex. racial, gender, homophobic, mental health, etc.)
Engage in good faith: If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything.
Use Megathreads: If your question can go in a megathread or stickied post, you must post it there.
Keep content relevant: Posts must be related to UBC or its community. All memes must be OC and/or explicitly related to UBC.
Follow community rules: This includes illegal activities, linking to unauthorized copyrighted materials, doxxing, and violations of UBC academic conduct policy (read more).
Advertisements: UBC affiliated non-profit organizations may advertise within reasonable limits. Everyone else must contact us before posting. No private advertisement of any sale or purchase. (read more).
Surveys: Surveys should be posted only if they are related to UBC or are of unique interest to the UBC community. Only some survey types are allowed (read more).
No discussion of foreign politics unless it has clear and direct implications for the UBC community (read more).
Lost & Found Posts are only allowed for some items (read more). Found posts SHOULD NOT include images or descriptors (color, location) of the item. Pictures with personal information are also prohibited.

In addition, we strongly frown upon reposts and LQ posts, and such posts may be removed.

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)
