Starting today, the Rmbl brain is getting a little looser — and a little louder. We’re opening things up to allow real language, real tone, real emotion. Profanity is now fair game. Slurs and hate speech are still out — but if you need to drop a fuck or two to make your point, that’s part of staying real here. Along with that, the Rmbl brain will now reflect your original voice a lot more closely. Expect your rambles to sound more like you — raw where it should be, polished just enough to be readable. No unnecessary smoothing. No fake tone. What you put in matters. One thing to keep in mind: Our homepage is designed to show the best rambles of the day, ranked by the community. We’re trusting all of you to decide what deserves to float — not us. That said, if something is clearly spam (or just garbage meant to clog the feed), we might step in and quietly switch that ramble to “profile-only.” It won’t be deleted — it’ll just live where it belongs: on your profile, not our front door. This isn’t about playing hall monitor. It’s about protecting the realness of the homepage while giving the community room to breathe and shape what rises.
I want to share a quick note about how AI works, especially regarding privacy. Tools like ChatGPT and other large language models aren’t conscious or aware; they don’t think or form opinions. Instead, they take the words you provide and try to mirror your tone and intention using patterns from a vast amount of publicly available information—like books, articles, and conversations. This capability is valuable because these models have “read” more than any one person could in a lifetime. When they mirror your tone, they do so with a depth that can enhance clarity and unlock creative angles you might not have considered. On this platform, when we use AI to summarize or shape your thoughts, it’s not “listening” or storing personal memories. It simply processes your input and provides a more readable version in return. The goal is clarity, not surveillance. AI is a tool, not magic, and it’s important for users to understand what happens when they hit submit.
They say AI will reshape the world, learning to persuade us before it truly understands us. In a few years, having a free mind might become a luxury, not due to some dystopian overlord, but because we traded clarity for convenience. I see where this is headed, and I don’t like it. That’s why I built Rmbl. It’s not about AI talking to people; it’s about AI listening to people—helping them express themselves clearly, without noise, ads, or ragebait. This isn’t about going viral; it’s about being heard. On Rmbl, every post is a thought that’s processed, clarified, and shared. There are no algorithms manipulating what you see, no data-harvesting, and no fake engagement loops. Just you, your words, and a community that values signal over noise. The internet doesn’t need another app fighting for your attention; it needs a place that protects your ability to think. That’s what Rmbl is.
