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)

This was the particular straw that broke this particular dromedaries’ back. I just have to bite the bullet and trade my iPhone for a pixel, now

My struggle is that I want off of iOS, but I’ve also been watching the walls close in on devices that can have their bootloader unlocked. I used to be heavily into Android tinkering (I still own a Nexus 5 and a white G1–still in its box), but left because iOS was easier for my partner to adapt to and easier for us to share various things.
