    Article written by kami Heya! So, theming in bearblog kind of sucks, right?1 When you try and apply someone elses theme, you have to copy all of their css and paste it into your dashboard. Not to mention finding themes. There's not really any standardized way of doing that - And there's often no goo [...]

    Debate was dead long before Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck. ==There has never existed a genuine marketplace of ideas where Tabula Rasa rational actors approached a memetic battlefield ready to hear out all sides and come to the best argued conclusion.== It was always a pretender to praxis.

    After a long and arduous journey that lasted more than two years, 5399 Mataroa blogs have been manually and carefully screened. 54% of them were rubbish and have been deleted.

    We migrated to new servers! Hooray! We had to take the service down to dump the database and then restore in the new server. All went well except for an issue with custom domains which was resolved within a few minutes! Now more robust than ever. However, it is a new server and slightly different se [...]

    I logged into the mataroa admin dashboard today and the realisation of my animosity for something arose. I don't know how to call it but I should probably do something about it since it is I the one who operates this platform! After a meeting with myself and a few days of letting the thoughts matur [...]
