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)

Sanctions could hurt League members, so they were reluctant to comply with them.

This led to 2nd WW. And surprise, surprise, we're nearing that situation once again.

And the world powers were far more willing to uphold a pretense of international law, both in how it acted and how it enforced it with other countries.

Then the Soviet Union collapsed, the United States went crazy, and the rest didn't want to spend money upholding the existing system.
