If the folks who are still on RAT want to promote it, they could try some of the big ancient podcasts and vlogs.
As I said, my hobby work since 2018 is mining the remaining forums for data which I am turning into books and scholarly articles which will still exist in 2121. The thoughtful people were on the open web, but they are not on social media or not their thoughtful selves there.

I hope RAT can keep a "forum" format. I can go back and find anything here (or be pointed to a helpful thread). Yay for us???!!!???I think chaos is a great name for social media with 'timelines'! In meatspace, everyone learns to behave one way with their partner at the breakfast table, another way in a meeting with their boss, and a third way with their friends at a cafe, but the 'timelines' smush all those different social contexts together. But it is also that the hosts of those sites track everything you do and everywhere you visit, but make it hard for you to find something you saw last week.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
