This.

You have to clear them individually or by clicking "Clear All".

It's not ideal, but neither is the software powering this site.

Does that mean your not keen on the software running Ramble?

I like the simplicity of it, but the truth is if any additional features are to be added to this site it'll likely be in the form of a different platform as I don't want to contribute to a project (Postmill) that does not support free speech.

There is very poor / little documentation for the software and I was banned from the only forum I know that discusses it because I defended free speech. The main coder was concerned about our Terms of Service on this website and created several scenarios in which the terms could lead to a rise in right wing extremism. I just think she was off her meds.

When I explained it was a technology focused site with no such issue, she wanted me to touch base on her previous comment.

I told her that I'd welcome a user made antifa forum just as much as I'd allow a user made proudboy forum as both deserve a safe space to practice free speech. I was told the answer to any question via email will be "no" and the the admin banned me. Discussion thread here: https://raddle.me/f/Postmill/123713/new-postmill-instance-ramble-pw For context, "emma" is the main coder behind the software that powers this site.

I did do a fork of the software and thought about having some paid development done it it further, but I don't really want to support a product or contribute to a project that doesn't support basic human values like free speech.

Ive just read that post and they really don't like the idea of free speech, and for some reason they seem to think your in the wrong for allowing a platform of free speech.

I understand why you aren't keen on the software and why you don't want to contribute to Postmill.
