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)

Ironic that to share the link while maintaining privacy you have to remove the tracker part of the YouTube URL:

Strange, in my post the link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4Upf_B9RLQ without tracker I think. You get the shorter youtu.be form?

Sorry, this wasn't about you specifically. I didn't even check when I clicked it! I just meant when you share the video about enshittification (from within YouTube), it adds the tracker to the URL...

Yeah it does :( I always have to edit it manually before sharing...

I wish the Council posted also on the Fediverse. Maybe one can point them here.
