I wouldn't worry too much about migrating things posted. Stuff is mostly ephemeral anyway. If the two sites run in parallel for a while, everyone can just manually repost what they find worthwhile.

This is Kape, they own PIA VPN, CyberGhost VPN and now Express VPN, these are some the biggest VPN players in the market, millions of users, it starts to look like a monopoly, no matter what brand you go to, it is going to be run by Kape.

Thanks. I'll always support free speech, even speech I disagree with. I've looked at replacing Ramble with a new platform entirely, as Postmill is a nightmare to work with and modify. Downside to that is that it wouldn't be possible to import current users and data to the new platform in any realistic fashion without paying someone to develop an import tool but the upside being a site that is more easily adjustable to our needs.

Yeah, being the guy that runs something like a "free-speech" platform is a losing battle. Old Voat eventually had the admin missing in action completely. But then, not every platform needs to grow to the size of reddit. Though, it would be nice if Ramble had a few users more, so I'm advertising this place where I can.

This.
But I'll enable the feature if someone wants to create a new one. I'd leave it open but I'm not around enough to feel comfortable doing it, because people will create dumb shit and post it on other sites trying to get this place shut down.
Last time I pitched the idea for asking for community help running this place, people acted like I was personally inviting spooks to help moderate stuff.
So it's sort of a lose lose from a management perspective. I'd like to see this place be more active but the reality is I'm just one person and run a business and work a regular part time job and try to do that while balancing a normal life.

It's not like there are enough users to fill new communities anyway..

Proton is the end of a long-overdue overhaul of the UI to fit with the modular, quicker backend, if I understand it correctly. The addon API was more painful but similar. Both should have happened a long time ago, and would have saved countless developer time spent on the old codebase.
They could have done it all at once with a full experimental browser again, which is what Phoenix originally was. But that doesn't fit with the branding and telemetry obsession Mozilla has.
It's not as bad as they make it out.

So... now the site just goes stagnant with no new communities?

Isn't it because Firefox is made by Mozilla who is paid by Google who created their very own spyware Chromium and has an interest since then to slowly strangle the life out of Firefox?
It all started around 2011 and all the decisions since then cannot be explained away with coincidence or mere incompetence.

Reply to The Biden administration will require employers with more than 100 employees to mandate vaccines or weekly testing by Rambler
Fuck him. His goons can come to my house and shoot me and vaccinate my dead body. Not. Taking. It.
For now, I'll be shopping at small businesses with under 100 employees and buying from local farmers. That's where people will have to be employed after getting fired from big companies, so they need the business. Guessing the small businesses will eventually be required to mandate the shots too but that will at least give laid off people a temporary place to be employed while they learn how to grow, raise, and hunt their own food.

Burn in hell, queers. The NSDAP destroyed your institute for a reason. The only thing they did wrong was not slaughter all of you in addition to burning your books.
