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)

Do you want people installing batteries and not selling you back excess energy? Because that’s what will happen with policies like this. People will eventually disconnect from the grid completely, and the have nots will be stuck with high energy prices (while the AI data centers will be given a rate discount).

Full disconnect is fairly unlikely. You really want the wind and geographical backstops to be reliable and cheap

Disconnecting is already being marketed and sold.
