We've released an update a short time ago to address a few key issues and concerns.
- fixed replying to private messages
- fixed a performance issue that was making the site almost as slow as Reddit.
- started the process of removing Google resources (namely, jQuery)
- fixed search results
- added "previous" pagination button
- ... and countless other, small changes.
The main point of this thread, however, is suggestions and bug reports.
We've been internally collecting a list and are working through them based on what is most important.
This is our public Trello board where you can see the bugs and features that are being worked on.
Use this thread to note any other bug reports and suggestions that you have.
You can also continue reporting bugs in Discord and elsewhere on the site.
I would HIGHLY recommend you to move your domain name from GoDaddy to somewhere else. They are the scummiest of them all. Epik is the most free speech tolerant provider from what I know. Nobody should be supporting GoDaddy imo.
Not sure if things have changed, but a number of years ago when I did my research on registrars, I landed on Namecheap as a US based company with a great reputation. I have about 12 domains with them and never had any issues. And yes, GoDaddy is notorious for screwing over their customers AKA missed a payment by 1 day? Say bye bye to your domain GoDaddy has now seized it and is looking to sell to the highest bidder - - that kind of bullshittery. No one should ever do business with them, IMO.
I checked them out. I might move all 3 of my domains there. Seems pretty simple.
Can confirm, have 4 domains with them. Simple and also has whois protection
https://nearlyfreespeech.net if you want a domain provider expressly dedicated to free speech. They got a lot of love when Godaddy first started to suck, and they still offer a simple service for a reasonable price.
I thought they were only dedicated to nearly free speech?
+1 for namecheap.
Yeah they aren’t perfect but as good as you’ll get today
Seconded. Unless we dare them to censor us. That might help things even more
I agree: Epik.com is the only one who actually supports free speech and a number of sites that were banned from godaddy moved over to epik
Epik is good I would concur. I have heard Namecheap is good as well.
Also cloudflare is "problematic", i think Gab had already problems with them.
No, Gab is still with CloudFlare. CF is the CDN and DDOS protection service. They did ban DailyStormer and 8chan though. DailyStormer was banned because they were blatantly claiming that CloudFlare supports them or something (which is a big non no). 8chan was banned after the shootings in El Paso I believe. Though since 8chan allows un-moderated anonymous posts which thedonald.win doesn't, I think we might be okay. I hate cloudflare but they are probably one of the best CDN and DDOS prevention.
Why does Cloudflare have a monopoly on CDN/DDOS prevention?
They don't, but most ddos protection is designed for Enterprise and therefore costs hundreds per month. Cloudflare is free
We use CF for all of our controversial sites and they have been great. They get monthly CAIR threats for some of our client's content and CF simply forwards the email on to us.
"I think we might be okay" is probably not good enough.
I think it needs further investigation if we want to be extra prepared. Good point from reddit/MilkyMauve, I can't say he is wrong. Cloudflare is in a position to decrypt and manipulate any and all data, across millions of sites. There HAS to be glowniggers or whatever involved.
edit, they did cancel stormfags, SF based co., plenty of "activists" on staff ready to call anyone a nazi I'm sure to justify whatever corrupt machinations.
If you can imagine it, someone is already doing it.
MilkyMauve 24 points · 2 hours ago · edited 1 hour ago Check the DNS and/or your network tab when you go there. They are already on Cloudflare. Did you know Cloudflare is a honeypot and DDOS attacks are a method of forcing companies into such a service? Did you know Cloudflare requires you to upload your SSL certificates (including private keys) so they can decrypt and re-encrypt your traffic in real time? Who do you think might be siphoning off this single point of massively unencrypted TLS traffic used by every major company?
Second this.
