Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.

Open Registration with Application questionnaire.

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)

You should have learned about slipping the switch. You should have figured out a way to prevent people from getting tied to the tracks. You should have been curious about who was tying people to the tracks and why. You should have knowledgeable rail operators working these switches not random bystanders.

in one sense yes, of course. in another, no, how foolish and naive. one cannot possibly foresee every possible bad event, nor can one effectively prepare for every foreseeable event. it's victim-blaiming where humans are the victims of our own lack of prescience.
