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)

Samsung devices get 4 years of updates while Google offers 7 and some smaller players go longer. The updates arrive late, buggy, and stripped of features that competitors ship day one. Dex has been a desktop environment since 2017 and Samsung still treats it like a beta feature. Knox exists to make sure you cannot fully own the hardware you paid 1200 dollars for. Why does Samsung get credit for supporting devices it actively prevents users from fully controlling?
