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)

Yes, the 24 hour news cycle use to be boring and you would have to hype up a bunch of bullshit to get people to watch. Times have changed. Focus on the world burning in front of our eyes you assholes.

It's too late - may as well roast some marshmallows, and enjoy the final act of the shitshow.

Too many things are happening too fast all the time and they are all important and usually terrifying. We are so tired. Put some back.

certainly not standard US/UK "news" of talking head/pundits reading off their daily/weekly list of propaganized talking points.

as the saying goes...if it's free, your the product. you got to utilize some kind of filter otherwise you'll be blastered by a bunch of bullshit
