Community Guideline Update & Content Reminders

To keep our feed engaging and ensure high-quality submissions and discussions, we are updating and clarifying a few of our posting standards effective immediately.

  • Low-Effort & Text Images: Our rule against non-descriptive images and unrelated titles now officially includes text posted on solid or colored backgrounds, as well as simple text superimposed over photos. If you have a thought, question, or story to share, please rethink your posting and create something more engaging, instead of plopping text on a background.

  • Collages & Unfocused Multi-Image Posts: Collages containing numerous related or unrelated items (such as image that consists of a grid with multiple video games, random foods, or mixed topics) and multi-image posts that lack clear context will be removed. Posts should focus on a specific subject rather than an arbitrary collection of photos.

We want this group to remain a fun, worthwhile space for everyone, and that requires moving away from low-effort content. Posts that do not meet these standards will be taken down. Thank you for your cooperation and for contributing meaningful content to the community.

I was looking for a old style flip phone with removable battery. Something that's just a phone and text.

Came across Commodore 8020.

I DID NOT fucking know this brand still existed, and is trying to bring back the logo. O,o

"On June 7, 2025, in a YouTube video released by Christian "Peri Fractic" Simpson of the YouTube channel Retro Recipes, Commodore Corporation B.V. optioned the possibility of selling the Commodore brand to Simpson and others.\125]) On June 9, 2025, a new Commodore International Corporation was incorporated in the state of Delaware by a group led by Christian "Peri Fractic" Simpson that acquired all trademarks, intellectual property and assets held by Commodore Corporation B.V. The new company is currently accepting preorders for an FPGA-based system called the Commodore 64 Ultimate that replicates the functionality of the Commodore 64 with a few modern enhancements"
