Human depends on the nature, he needs to lift his ass and go into the forest to pick it's gifts.

Sheeple depends on technocratic society, he has to be brainwashed into conformity for 25+ years and slave his ass away the rest of it for bio-survival tickets which he can (if he's allowed to by not showing any dissent) exchange for technogenic cattle feed.

Usually it's me pushing untested stuff into production because, "Of course it'll work. It's simple." that breaks stuff. I care a little more about this site and even tested it first, confirmed it worked, and still broke it all.

Eh. It happens, I guess.

You can already create multiple accounts and throwaways, but I believe you're requesting an, "anonymous" user account where any user can opt to have their post displayed as 'anonymous' (or 'guest') or similar? I'm down for it.

Automatically stop logging the ip address for users that reach a certain non-spam non-illegal post count and remove all ip logs for that user.

I already do that via a cron job for all users. IPs get purged at a regular interval.

Maybe even obfuscate when people post since everyone has a unique pattern of when they like to go online.

I like this idea. I have no idea how to implement it and I know on Linux you could, in theory, do this (kind of) with XDoTool ( https://www.semicomplete.com/projects/xdotool/ " xdotool - fake keyboard/mouse input, window management, and more " ) but that's client site, and not server side, and kind of a pain in my limited experience with it.

I'm not against paper cards, anyone who has been in the public school system has paper vaccine records on file.

BUT

I am against having to carry it around, be required to share it with private businesses and definitely against the idea of a digital one.

I'd be frugal, have a small cabin built ontop of an underground bunker. It'd be hidden, accessible through only a false floor or wall to access. I'd fill it with supplies. I'd build a cool backyard shooting range, too. Then probably save the other $500,000.

I'd be interested in occasionally helping with some features here and there. I'm admittedly rusty with both PHP and vanilla JavaScript though since I've mostly worked with typescript, jquery, and front-end frameworks. I've been considering contributing to some open source free speech + privacy oriented project after seeing how much censorship there is, and how even the sites that are more pro free speech are not good at protecting user privacy. I downloaded Docker + Postmill + the images but still need to get it all up and running.

There's a lot of potential for a new fork of Postmill to have features that make it better for free speech and privacy. I'm thinking stuff like

  • Option to post anonymously. Would need to figure out some way to limit this. Maybe give users with a high non-illegal non-spam post count a key.

  • Moderator elections for certain forums.

  • Automatically stop logging the ip address for users that reach a certain non-spam non-illegal post count and remove all ip logs for that user.

  • Maybe even obfuscate when people post since everyone has a unique pattern of when they like to go online.

If it has enough desirable features, then other people who are considering making a Reddit-like site would consider using the fork instead of Postmill. Anonymous posts would especially be a desired feature. You see it all the time on Reddit that people make accounts like throwaway20473632.

It could be called “Free Private Postmill” or something unconnected to Ramble. Eventually Ramble’s culture could become more like Voat as censored people migrate here and then devs won’t want the name “Ramble” on the gitlab page that potential employers see.

I think if the fork is uploaded and the vision is put out there on other pro free speech forums, a lot of developers would be interested.
