[RAMBLE] offers privacy-respecting user forums similar to Reddit
You may have seen many Reddit alternatives popping up on the Fediverse over the last few years, and some of them are pretty busy. I've done posts over the years on BeeHaw and similar sites there.
And although they are decentralised servers, they are still IPv4 (clearnet) servers that can be blocked. [RAMBLE] is a similar type of social site that is accessible on clearnet, I2P, Tor and Yggdrasil. Interestingly though, you can ONLY log in on I2P though if you want to post, comment, or vote.
Why the I2P network? The I2P (Invisible Internet Project) network excels in providing strong anonymity and privacy through its decentralised, encrypted overlay on the regular internet, ideal for peer-to-peer communication without revealing user identities or locations.
By users being forced to use the I2P network to actually log in, their privacy and anonymity is better protected by default, and of course, it is also not easy to actually locate and block the [RAMBLE] site itself.
So is [RAMBLE] then all criminal and dark web? Actually, no, it is not. It is about protecting privacy and preventing freedoms of speech censorship. It's rules actually prohibit buying or selling anything illegal, prohibit explicit sexual images including those of minors, no calls for violence, no hate speech (e.g. racism, bigotry, discrimination against other groups, etc), no trolling or harassment of other users.
It has no age verification requirement.
