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)

Hamachi did it back in 2004 or so.

MS is so late to the party because they want you to do it through them.

Same reason they bought (and killed) Foldershare around 2006 or so.

Edit - forgot this is phone, and Hamachi still hasn't released a phone app unfortunately.

Still, this is crap to entice the inexperienced to use the "convenience" - same model Apple has always used to lock people in.

I use windows every day, and I'll be damned if I'll ever sync my phone with MS crap.
