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)

One of our dogs can tell time to tbe minute, and has managed to learn every way to ask each other if we want to take the dogs to the park. He's even learned when we spell it out. It's annoying!

This is news? I think most dog owners realized they can get a response by asking their canines, "Do you want to go to the... living room?" before finally finishing with "Park!?" or something fun. Dogs learn...

Anecdotal evidence vs documented research is the difference.

Time to make secret alphabets every morning only to potentially be able to get away with it.
