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)

The radicalization pipeline isn't a conspiracy, its emergent behavior of "engagement" algorithms

TLDW: The scientific method is the antithetical to online engagement. Algorithms push emotional messages and content, which isn't dispassionate and trying to be objective.

If engagement is key, then the most engaging content gets screen time, and more people are pushed with engaging polarizing content rather then informed intelligent discourse.

We see this on youtube, twitter, all algorithm driven media.
