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.
Yeah. Without this feature, someone who is really serious about privacy but still wants to post a lot might want to have as many as three or four accounts with different levels of privacy.
*One for non-political posts that are very connected to his identity. Such as answering that "What if you had 1 million dollars?" question or posting in hobby sub-forums.
*One for political posts that are somewhat connected to his identity because he also shared them with people he knows in real life or shared them on other social media.
*One for mostly political posts that are not connected to his identity. An account where he can post freely what he thinks about politics or any controversial subject without worrying.
*One or more accounts for posts that absolutely must not ever be connected to his identity for some reason.
That's a lot of accounts to deal with, so most people don't go that far or even think about going that far, but as long as there's a relatively easy way to anonymously post, that could improve peoples privacy a lot. If someones doing multiple things on one account, even he's good about hiding his IP, a girlfriend, friend, or family member who looks over his shoulder and sees his username could read through his posts, find some "red flags" or something and report him to the authorities while showing how the personal info posted about life experiences, hobbies, etc. connects to his real identity.
So basically, the feature should be easy enough to use that people use it regularly, but not so easy that automated spam is an easy thing to do. A simple captcha might be the way to go.
As for changing the timestamps of created posts, a “before insert” database trigger would work. The code in the first reply here could be modified.

You could generate a random value between +240 and -240 minutes. Then add that value to the current time. That way, if you’re sorting posts by timestamp, their position in the list won’t be too far off. It would still be enough to make it harder to answer questions like “What timezone is this user in? Are they employed? Do they have a regular sleep schedule? I have the ISP records for John Smith. Was John Smith using an anonymity network or hitting ramble’s IP address when this was posted?”
Actually, since there aren’t a lot of new posts per day, you even could do something like +720 and -720 minutes and it would still be fine for now but you’d need to narrow the window later once more people join and start posting more often.
Optionally, you could change the timestamps even more with replies to posts. I don’t see a sort by new option for replies in Postmill and even on sites like Reddit that have it, I’m guessing most people don’t use it much.

You can change the language (user -> User settings -> Language). About them, I assume you have to fork Postmill (which is what this forum is using), copy the *.en.yml
files while also changing the ISO 3166 code (e.g. to *.pl.yml
), translating those new files, then making a pull request to the Postmill repository you just forked. By the way, I checked how many lines of messages are there, and it's 580.

Reply to Video: CNN reporter is worried that people might start enjoying freedoms without taking the vaccine by onion
The AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine is a chimpanzee adenovirus-vectored vaccine.
That means AstraZeneca vaccine will modify your DNA through an APE modified virus . If you have to get a vaccine, take Pfizer or Sputnik V . ( I took Sputnik V personally and supported it with no problems ) . In France for example , they don't allow AstraZeneca for people younger than 55 years old ( source ) . They are afraid that genetic manipulations with the Ape virus could transmit somes unwanted ape genes to your children ( Agressivity , or else ) . We are basically like laboratory rats with those vaccines . But do not complain about that , like people were complaining about the train in 1900s because they were thinking it was dangerous . It's progress , and nothing can stop it .

And yes, I'm aware of a bug with this site (RAMBLE) and linking to my invidious install. It fails to fetch the thumbnail / description / favicon from the site/pages linked and spits out a 500 Internal Server Error. It does it with a couple other sites too, so it's something I'm looking into.

True, and I do use TOR to post and browse here, but I'm glad the IP logs get cleared regularly. I think websites and apps should help the people who aren't being careful as much as possible. For example, people were uploading pictures and videos to Parler without stripping the metadata first. They should have been stripping the metadata before uploading, but Parler also should have done that automatically for all posts.
