Technology: Reviving Online Forums

I grew up building and living on forums. They were chaotic and clunky, but they had soul. Threads had depth, usernames carried weight, and conversations actually lasted.

Those old forums eventually led to the social media we know today, but platforms like Facebook hid everything behind privacy walls—posts seen only by friends, ideas trapped in curated bubbles. To maintain their platforms, they had to create large moderation teams, which is costly. When they were built, AI wasn't as accessible, so they relied on ads for survival.

Rmbl is my attempt to bring back the soul of those early internet spaces while making it clean, modern, and AI-enhanced. Every ramble you post is instantly summarized into a clear version of your thoughts.

There’s no feed manipulation, no ragebait, and no popularity contests—just ideas refined and shared. I'm currently building this platform solo, but we plan to hire moderators who are paid, trained, and grown from within the Rmbl community.

We finally have the tools to rethink how social platforms should work. This is what comes next.
