RetroFed

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)

I just checked my admin queue on my instance and there were over 100 registration requests marked "Boom Protocol Probe". Due to this going on, I temporarily disabled registrations until I got a concrete solution against bots.

Has anyone else been targeted?

I run peertube.nadeko.net and I got over 800, xd. idk who is doing it but the best thing you can do is filter registrations requests by it's POST data in your reverse proxy probably, or banning the IP addresses manually, but that is not really effective as they can just use any proxy to change their IP.
