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)

When governments can win power with 30% to 40% of the vote, long term planning suffers. Big promises get torn up after every election.

Graphic with a soft sky background and a faint image of Canada’s Parliament buildings. Title text reads: “The Policy Whiplash of FIRST-PAST-THE-POST”. A subheading says: “Changes in government”. A brown zigzag line with dots shows repeated ups and downs labeled, from left to right: “New direction”, “Reversals”, “Short-term fixes”, “Cancelled again”, and “Reset again”. Below a dashed line, text reads: “Winner-take-all elections bounce us between parties with 30% to 40% support that rewrite policy.” Near the bottom, bold underlined text reads: “Proportional representation”, followed by: “requires majority support, producing continuity instead of constant reversals.” A dark bar at the bottom says: “Learn more at fairvote.ca”.

Proportional representation rewards policies that can survive change because they are backed by a real majority.
