About RetroFed
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)

How many FOSS projects epitomize the XKCD cartoon, one guy in nebraska holding up the internet? Oh, and if English isn't your first language, you can also just fuck off, kthxbai.

Clowns. But reddit, I guess, huh.

I mean, to be fair many/most of those projects predated Reddit, and would survive without Reddit.

While I wouldn't ban solo projects if I were king of the world, I fully expect you'll continue to see folks 'take sides' on AI Holy Wars, in exactly the same fashion many orgs have had to terminate their bug bounties due to the sheer unending volume of shoddy "MONEY PLEASE" submissions that AI delivered into their inboxes and ticket systems.
