Nope. They will never police themselves to the extent that they had too on reddit. Anyone stumbling into them who wasn't already heavily inclined to their cause will bounce off from the sheer nastiness of the place.
Being on reddit forced them to tone down and memeify to the point where they were kinda entertaining in the beginning, that's what drew a lot of people in. thedonald.win will end up like another infowars or 4chan, that weird corner of the internet you visit occasionally to look at the weirdness but mostly avoid.
- blisterpeanuts 6y agoHow exactly is TheDonald.win "sheer nasty"? Give some examples. I've perused that site and there's a lot of outrage at how the President has been treated, true, but I don't see much nasty. Then again, free speech can seem ugly, when you're used to a carefully curated kind of controlled speech.
- dageshi 6y agoWell I'd go check but the site seems to be down. Perhaps "nasty" is the wrong word, although I do think there's an element of that. More "delusional"? That is, so divorced from what I perceive as reality that anyone not already on that path is going to be utterly confused by what people there believe, like the other conspiracy-esque sites out there.
- postalrat 6y agoIt's not down. You do have to pass a captcha because all the crazies are targeting the site.
- blisterpeanuts 6y agoIt's back, as of 7:31 EST, and no captcha. But it's still very slow. But so is hacker news, at least for me. EDIT: oops, it's down at 7:33. I guess the landing page is up, but clicking on a discussion sends me back to a Cloudflare gateway timeout page.
- SpaceManNabs 6y agoSearch for BLM and go through pages 25 through 30. I found multiple comments/posts calling or implying violence against left-leaning politics and black people.
