It might work, but then all you do is create better filter bubbles around people.

I am seeing the same thing with the Seamonkey browser.

Yes, you could follow someone who is not following you, but you could always adjust who you are following. Being limited to 150 would cause you to naturally think about whether you should remove people from your "follow" list who are perhaps not interested in following you. When you have a limited number of slots you will be more careful with them than if you have, say, 1000 slots.

Yep, same issue. But u/Rambler hasn't posted since Nov 18, 2022. I think this site is pretty much abandoned.

So you could follow someone who doesn't follow you and never get a reply back?
Reddit already was a shot at this problem with all the subreddits and we see how that scaled.
Also, you need to shoot lower than Dunbar, since that includes people you socialize with in RL. (Family, work, friends)

Wahaha,
I have some ideas about how to enable better communities on sites that are not small. One is to allow users to follow each other but limit the number of people each user can follow to 150 (Dunbar's number). I hope this will cause users to naturally clump together in small groups that will become their online social circle.

The problem is that a community does not scale. It's trivial to get along well with ten other people. It is utterly impossible to get along well with ten million other people.

I know about fungi networks, but even if they should know, we can't communicate with them.

What banner do you want to see people unifying under?
I was hoping common sense, but that ship has sailed. At this point there's only a small chance for National Socialism and a big chance for Islam. Either way it won't be so much unification as subjugation.

I have loved Dean Koontz since the 1980's, despite the fact that he uses the same formula in every book. I am glad to see he is still writing.

Thank you. Incognet does not seem to have a website. Strange.

Not the admin, but I'll answer some of your questions.
The software behind Ramble is postmill (see this comment).
Regarding hosting, if you look at the bottom of the pages on Ramble, you may see:

Reply to comment by takeheart in New fleet of i2pd 0.9.46 routers by DcscZx5idox
sorry for stale bump, but there is also quite a few routers by SUNY Brockport, as well as a CRT in the installer. Not sure what a state funded college would have interest in I2P for. Not sure I am going to remain on here much longer. Asked in IRC and people said it could be anyone. Hard to believe them when all the IPs go back to AS' belonging to the college.

He hasn't posted in over a month. So maybe he has, or someone got him to abandon it.

As was said earlier, it's HTTPS issues. I'm experiencing similar problems on Firefox. Using HTTP over yggdrasil works fine for me. Clearnet connection with HTTP also works, but you won't have encryption.

The certificate is outdated, so it cannot finish HTTPS handshake.

The issue should be fixed now, regardless of whether your browser sends a preference for the light or dark theme. Previously, if your browser requested the light theme, some of the font colors were off. Apologies for the inconvenience.
