History

Unsatisfied with the few link sharing communities that were available and their proprietary, untransparent and non-secure nature, ziq made the original raddle.me (then known as raddit.me) with Wordpress, but it had a lot of limitations.

The plan from the start was to replace the clunky Wordpress site with a site built from scratch. We were incredibly fortunate that emma volunteered to single-handedly make this a reality.

About 6 months later, we relaunched as this fully featured link sharing site without any of reddit, voat or imzy's bloat, and with a mission statement to give the people control over their own community.

We are completely free and open source, completely transparent, we don't track or profile you, we don't try to sell you anything, and we work to uphold the values of mutual aid, direct democracy, and when it's called for, direct action...

So while the rest of the web has rapidly been taken over by alt-right trolls and bigots, raddle will always have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to fascist ideas and bigotry. We strongly believe in freedom of association and don't think anyone should be forced to associate with abusive trolls or people that promote genocide. So bigots will always be removed from our space.

This site was made by the people for the people, and actualizing the community's ideas to construct the best possible meeting place is our entire motivation. We won't censor you for standing up to fascism, or ban you for sharing 'subversive' literature like a certain other site keeps doing.
