Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.

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)

Ok, how does 1.org actually work? Is it like Ecosia where you have to click on ads (and maybe even buy stuff on advertised sites) to actually contribute? Ecosia has this info buried somewhere on their site but I could not find anything here (could not be bothered to watch the YT video).

1.org looks like a privacy nightmare:

We and our 1008 partners store and access personal data, like browsing data or unique identifiers, on your device.
