yeah. postmill only has one global setting for which domain to serve images from, and i'm too lazy to fix this.

also the onion site gets an incredibe amount of abuse at times, and offloading image traffic to cloudflare would go a long way toward solving it.

edit: to clarify, it used to be that UPLOAD_ROOT=/, which made images load relative to the domain you were visiting from. now it's UPLOAD_ROOT=https://uploads-cdn.raddle.me/, so that's where images will load from on both the clearnet and onion sites.

"Unique visitor" isn't a great term for the statistic nowadays, especially for longer term calculations. Cloudflare calculates it from IP address, so a VPN with a dozen endpoints could send traffic from a hundred users, but only count as 12, or it could send traffic froom one user, and over a month use all endpoints and still count as 12. Many ISPs nowadays give short IPv4 leases, so the same user can end up getting a new IP address every day, and look like multiple dozens of unique users within the same timespan. With TOR you get the same repeated users showing up with a different IP address each visit, so that also increases the number.

I'm guessing there isn't such a huge influx of unique visitors, and it is just the same users appearing with multiple IPs.

I wonder what it means that over 100 000 unique visitors come to the site. I wonder if they just google search something and then one of raddle pages is near the top and they click it, or what.

And even more than unique visitors, it's repeat visitors that seem to me to be an interesting group. Is that what the "Total Requests" value roughly reflects relative to the "unique visitors"?

Hi, several VPNs were recently blocked at the server level because someone who got banned was using them to attack the site in retaliation. We're currently in the process of moving to a new dedicated server, and the VPN blocks may no longer be necessary when that happens. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

These are just guidelines to help you engage with your fellow Raddlers with empathy and compassion, this page shouldn't be taken as a code of laws. We trust our moderators to use their best judgement when determining if something is oppressive enough that it ought to be removed from a forum. They don't need to be spoon-fed exact prescriptions for every potentiality.

Yeah, I predict this will absolutely lead to more lawyering bs, or at the very least won't decrease the number of posts and debates about this stuff. I think the post that made you add this already was lawyering bs of someone who doesn't come across to me as confused, but rather as willfully ignorant for the purpose of making you add this.

As they say themselves, they have been given multiple explanations, by multiple people, and yet they keep repeating the same lines that have explicitly been replied to & claiming they are confused. Either this is, as I believe, bs or adding yet another explanation to the wiki ain't gonna help.

Either they really want you to add a word list so that then someone can link that tumblr post about word lists again, or they're trying to make you create loopholes, because as they said, they continue to believe that they can use these words without it being ableist.

I will admit that this is not a charitable interpretation and that my opinion of them is also coloured by them assuming I'm neurotypical because I disagree with them. The accusation that mods are neurotypical or the rules were made by neurotypicals is brought up every time this discourse pops up and I'm sick of it and I think they should know better.
