r/ReturningRetro↗
Returning Retro is a community aiming to return to a simpler time of tech; when we used it deliberately instead of compulsively, and it was fun! RR's purpose is to help those well-meaning individuals, who have become needlessly dependent on unnecessary tech, find resources to digitally declutter their lives and bring digital intentional-ism back to consumer technology's cultural zeitgeist!
