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)

Should prepare the people though, in switching beforehand. A news announcement, for example, to strongly recommend switching to federated media.

Once you've blocked Signal, you might as well go ahead and block the rest of the outside world.

European government officials and institutions (on all levels) should at least stop using Twitter to communicate with people.

100%, truly shocking that they're still there. Literally feeding free content for the profit of the wealthiest man on earth who happens to be a nazi.

PS: and the reason they remain there is that they're not questioned about it because every f* reporter is also still there.

They have. I've set up a Signal relay for some people there, so they can continue to communicate with the civilised world.
