agree... there’s also an opportunity to drive MASSIVE amounts of ‘conservatives’ here in the light of the exodus from facebook and parler, etc. but freerepublic desperately needs a dramatic upgrade to the user interface, etc.
A very serious business could be made out of Freerepublic if that was the intent.
whoops... ** exodus from facebook and twitter.
Sorry, I love the “interface, etc.” It is great that you can use html in your posts for instance. Where else can you get as creative as you can here? As soon as we sell our house... I will be making a big donation to help the crew keep it exactly the way that it is.
Hogwash!
Just what we need at FR, another display of moronicity...
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Like hell it does! It's simple, quiet, easy, quick*, and serves the purpose it's intended to serve very well.
The very last thing FR needs is to start looking like FacePlant or Twatter or any of those.
LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS -- IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T "FIX" IT.
* Note: post-migration page load is quite slow, however I assume that's due to post-migration server maintenance (things like a database backup kill DB performance), so I'm being patient.
“freerepublic desperately needs a dramatic upgrade to the user interface, etc.”
No. It’s perfect as is. All the fol-de-rol of the snazzy sites is annoying.
