Okay! After some quick review.

I stopped using Cloudflare a few days ago, but according to them the last 30 days had (for clearnet only):

  • Unique Visitors: 9,101
  • Total Requests: 2,790,988

Today so far, via some log analyzing tools from all traffic sources:

Total Requests 46784 Unique Visitors 619 

Keep in mind that 'unique visitors' will always be incorrect because every request from the Tor network (onion service only) looks the same. Every request from I2P is logged as one of two addresses from the I2P routers that I have creating the HTTP tunnel to the site, every request from LokiNet looks the same as well. This means you can't tell the difference between Onion_UserA and Onion_UserB. But that number DOES include bots/crawlers/spiders as well...

In fact, after review, I'm not certain how I came to my previous determination of saying clearnet was 60+% of traffic, Tor 30%~, etc. I'm not going to go into detail on how logs are kept but there isn't enough data kept to do good analysis and the data I'm using now won't exist 'soon' for later review, either.

Like, for example today it shows 68.68% of visitor's IP is the internal Tor Onion service IP. So, according to what I'm seeing, (today), 69% (kek) of traffic has been from the Tor Onion service (http:// rambleeeqrhty6s5jgefdfdtc6tfgg4jj6svr4jpgk4wjtg3qshwbaad.onion )

In short: I don't really know. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

I just know Clearnet, Tor and I2P are the biggest networks. I support Loki and Yggdrasil out of principle and less because we get many visitors from them.

This site launched at the beginning of December so I'll say that I'm happy with the level of activity that exists and hope it continues to grow.

I enjoy Session, but it's not mature enough for daily use. Poor/no syncing between devices, weird line wrapping when typing, and desktop notifications aren't working (for me).

But, it's an option.

Jeeze, that's hilarious(ly) bad.

Even though the creator of postmill is super against free speech and is for heavy handed censorship herself, I'll give her props for not trying to hardcode or even make a filter a default option on postmill.

The feature exists and is literally called, "censorship" on postmill with the discription:

This tool lets you ban phrases of text from being posted. It can be used to prevent spam, or to suppress dissent.

Though I always thought it was tounge in cheek humor and not serious...

Communists killed like a hundred million people, I don't think they can keep up with that. Not even almost. My grandfather was a prisoner of war of the soviets. None of the horror stories I heard about the Nazis can keep up with the shit he told us went on over in Russia. At least Germany would give their prisoners an excuse for a bed and a blanket, which the Russians wouldn't, despite having temperatures were your piss would freeze. They didn't provide toilets, either.

Their conflation of race and culture, their flawed notions about innate characteristics and human potential, and their unwillingness to extend moral regard to members outside their in group lead to immense cruelty and human suffering. They almost killed as many people as Communists. Almost!

You'll see a dictator the UN of human rights violations since 2014 freely sharing his opinion. This is proof that Twitter has "rules for thee and not for me", banning people guilty of wrongthink while cheerfully allowing murderers to say whatever.

To be clear, it's great that Maduro has free speech (even though he won't allow his own citizens to have it). He is welcome here on this site, as far as I'm concerned. It's hypocritical that some people have free speech while people "guilty" of lesser thought crimes are banned.

Even only in Tor users, a ratio of the users are: clearnet(exit) : onion = 96.6 : 3.4. If onion users are more than the ratio with some reason (advertised in Reddit /r/onions, etc.), it may be: clearnet : onion = 100 : x<5. Reference: https://blog.torproject.org/some-statistics-about-onions
Note: this was data in 2015, but now in 2021, it may be mostly same.

I'm already hearing the disappointed groans of the SM folks in the background.

Also, the hand rubbing of the people abducting people to sell them off for profit. "We wouldn't want to hurt our merchandise."

If only the world was a simple place.

Yes, it could impact it's ability to spy on you. You wouldn't want that, now would you?
