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)

I hadn't, but I did forget about most of these. I wonder how much they influenced my preference for just a plain black background vs perhaps just being used to the readability it provided old green and amber TTY terminals.

I use default wallpapers. I have too many windows open to bother.
