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)

Looks they are running into a state law forbiding biometric scanning without disclosure and consent. IOW, they just have to include it in the terms of service nobody reads.

BIPA saves the day yet again. If your state doesn't have a law similar to Illinois' BIPA you should call your representatives immediately to advocate for it.

Strangers didn't agree to their terms so they can't. Not that it matters, nothing matters, except money, apparently.

TOS is not enough. Google and meta were forced to add actually ask and consent dialogues and the ability to rescind consent.
