Reply to comment by Rambler in How many users do come here through clearnet, onion, i2p, and loki? by nvuaooay
Thanks! I wanted site owner's feeling. Informative. Numbers of connections, GETs, or POSTs... hard to choose and count, it may be.
Does "Tor about 30%" include users coming from clearnet of Tor exit node as well as from onion? If No, onion users are more than what I expected. I2P users are just more.
Rambler wrote
In order of popularity: Clearnet, Tor, then I2P. Loki and Yggdrasil combined make up probably about 1% of total traffic. Clearnet is about 60-65% and Tor is about 30%.
It's kind of hard to measure but that is the general gist from trying to figure this out myself recently.

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'd give onion a higher share. But I have no idea, really.

reddit.com/r/redditalternatives has links to several others

The search and RSS feeds could certainly be better, I agree.
For search, the best thing to do now is do something like this:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Aramble.pw%2Ff%2Fprivacy+signal+app&t=h_&ia=web
Search query: site:ramble.pw/f/privacy signal app and that'll search /f/privacy for posts/threads containing, 'signal app'. The site gets crawled on the other networks too, I believe you can do the same query with legwork.i2p as well.

They weren't even fights.
The creator of the Postmill software, Emma, doesn't like people using her software unless they align with her politically 100%. Honestly, we probably agree on more things than we disagree on.
As seen by today's earlier targeted brigade of porn being spammed on the site it also shows they're extremely childish. I'm not saying it was her (Postmill Emma), but definitely from her lackeys from jstpst and/or raddle.
Like, porn is allowed here. If her software had the ability to move a post to a different forum I would have just moved it all to one of the dozens of gay porn forums they made but didn't use, instead they just spammed it on /f/pics, /f/memes, etc. While it's "not my thing", that content is legal and allowed. Like all other adult content, it should be in it's own forum. Simple stuff.

Good luck for fighting spams! Btw, your emotional discussion fights on jstpst, it must have really triggered a part of them? Btw, btw I enjoyed the fights! :D

I guess we're a far-right site now.
To these sorts of people, anyone who isn't radical left is far-right.
I used to consider myself liberal. Now liberals believe in no free speech and giving hormones to five-year-olds. My views didn't change, but the liberals sure did. Now they consider me far right as well.

You must have really triggered them because it caused a brigade of people, I'll assume from Raddle (because too many people for me to believe from jstpst) to spam the site with gay porn.
If they're reading this, that content is allowed. Just create your own forum for it. Spamming default forums in a coordinated attempt to be annoying will result in a ban. Participating in good faith and posting that content in forums dedicated to it, that's fine by me.

I created an account there a couple months ago to see what the fuss was about and they had some nice features implemented. Didn't stick around long enough to get involved with the content. Looks like registration is closed and I can't remember what my name was on there anyhow. Oh well.

Thanks for info! I like your quick replies. <3
Btw, I couldn't find the site "CumTown" powered by postmill. XD

[RAMBLE], but I may be a bit biased.
Raddle is for the people who think reddit doesn't ban enough people for 'wrong think'. Unless you fall in line with the community approved thought then you'll get banned.
Don't forget about CumTown (I believe it's a podcast, not a... porn site), it's also powered by postmill.
edit:
Well, I went to jstpst to check it out, saw this same thread, wanted to read the comments:
https://www.jstpst.net/f/ask/5785/comment/10679 Apparently I'm a far-right and transphobic . (emma is the creator of postmill, the underlying code that powers this site)
And it appears raddle has already banned or removed your post, which sort of answers your question about how that site is operated. I wasn't kidding about 'wrong think'.
edit2: I figured I'd find a comment from raddle's admin. I know they nuked your thread and probably banned you, but I found this funny: https://images2.imgbox.com/d7/49/SFM03y2d_o.png
I guess we're a far-right site now.

After review, you're right. I was definitely annoyed.

cordial enough
Eh, I didn't read it that way at all. Tone is very easy to misinterpret over written communicaiton. So you may have typed what you typed with a friendly and warm state of mind, but your words could easily me interpreted (in my opinion) as someone who is annoyed. Nothing you said was really unhinged or awful, but I don't think the majority of users would read your posts as cordial.
I still stand by what I said though.
That's why I'm here. If you don't like something online, go somewhere else. Free speech, contrary to the back assword understanding of the concept as described in their /w/freespeech page, is an essential tool for the underdogs to ensure the establishment doesn't become corrupt, out of touch, and predatory.

Reply to comment by J0yI9YUX41Wx in I came up with a way to hide URLs in text. What should I do with it? by Stegacite
This program isn't doing steganography or encryption of any kind. Encryption means you want to send something to someone you don't know who has a special key to understand it. The goal here is to send something to someone you don't know who doesn't have any advantages at all over the people you don't want to receive the text. So it's like a CAPTCHA for censors to fill out - a way to make it harder for a machine to tell tens of thousands of people what information they're allowed to pass on.
Stegacite OP wrote
Sorry - the link in the text is an HTML file ... it turns out that Github's idea of an HTML file is their page showing you the HTML source. So you actually have to copy and paste it into a text file and save to desktop to use it. Unless there's some feature/setting I missed, which is more likely than not.
Meanwhile, I think you should be able to run the demonstrator for real at https://jsfiddle.net/Lke6p3dq/ - which, with some hint to apply the suffix to JSFiddle, can be described as myrtle fame jail totally

Sounds interesting, and I'm just getting up and moving around so I need to rub the sleep out my eyes and look at it closer.
To demonstrate what I mean: Pony Tough Feature Post is a URL for the Ramble Privacy forum,
I searched, but couldn't find this site. Care to send me the link?
Any project that teaches you something new is a project worth doing.

Yeah, I was a bit taken back by it. I thought I was being cordial enough with emma, especially since her and I had communicated offsite before and she was polite and helpful.
I still stand by what I said though. I don't have to agree with someone to understand that they have rights that are important.

I'll look more into it soon. It's sort of hard to figure out without running proper analytic software but I'll give it a crack.
