Ramble is an effort to also promote the use of alternative internets ie. not just https regular web.
The great thing about their setup is that it allows users from various anonymity networks to actually interact with one another in a seamless, transparent fashion. Someone browsing their Onion Service may be responding to a post made from the clearnet, and have their response upvoted from someone who agrees with their comment from the I2P eepsite while a Yggdrasil user is creating a forum. Regardless of the method you choose to access the Ramble website, you’d be interacting with people from outside of your network in a relatively unique fashion. You can login to your account through any network that you wish. Post on your phone using the clearnet website, come home, and hop on the I2P eepsite and you’ll have everything right there.
Another interesting feature is a fully transparent moderation log, showing any banned users or other deletions made (a bit like Aether does) with a reason. You only need to choose any username and password to get going, no e-mail or phone number requested to register.

Yes I have also noticed a few attacks on other networks like Scuttlebutt. An interesting point I picked up there, and did not really think a lot about, is that apparently many social networks are classified as to where they lie on the US political spectrum, and that can then mean they are good or bad ;-) As a non-American, I did not know that classification was a thing…
I’m a non-american (argentinian), and don’t really feel comfortable sharing a platform with literal white supremacists.
As a non-American, I don’t see pointing out a white supremacist user as an attack towards a platform.
The last sentence of your earlier response definitely suggested you were judging the platform based on that one user though.
You didn’t even say what the person said, just left people to guess based on the username (for all we know it’s a left wing radical doing the internet equivalent of performance art), people just can’t tell without context.
If you look at that user’s post history, it’s far from “the internet equivalent of performance art”.
Racial supremacy and misogyny are not just american though. They’re valid divides on the political spectrum in most regions/cultures. But i agree with you “liberal” is a very weird term that in for example french context means rather conservative, because pro-business…
