As we feared, the owner of the old domain has already betrayed the community and redirected the domain. After the redirect propagates, hundreds of thousands of loyal patriots may not know where to find home!
Spread the word that we've moved! Gab, Twitter, etc! Here's an example (Also, new Gab account for the new domain name):

Edit-
A lot of concerns have actually been answered by more technically savy users in the comments,
No, they said if you were logged out, that was bad. And that the new site would likely blindly accept the first password provided. I was not logged out. My browser does not remember passwords, so it could not have logged me back in. Or... It's all bullshit and it's been compromised for a while already. Probably back when that 'hold the line' lie started.
the cookie is still valid, which means that the front end hosts are the same, the back end db is the same. URL may be different, but everything else is the same. Even the ssl cert is the same.
Yep. The fact the domain changed and SSL didn't freak out is a good thing. To every pede that doesn't know what that means... it means a ton of extremely annoying extra measures on your computer designed to warn you if something's amiss, aren't ringing. And trust me, they got super annoying the past 2 years. So I feel safe. The token is still valid, the cert is good, AND the domain name changed... even the most secure site will freak out if you change a domain name, unless you've set up a line of trust. Well it looks like they setup a line of trust. So there.

Dusted off the old poorly underused, but verified, thedonaldreddit Gab account for additional verification:

Edit- As far as media posts go, it's fixed for new posts, being worked on for old ones.
If your servers were seized, they would have your database as well, and passwords would work. I would suggest a dead hand type mechanism. Something buried in the code, such that if everything was seized, and you were put under a gag order not to say anything, a ticking clock would fire off and shut it down or something. You wouldn't be violating anything, since they took control of what was there.
tools like Norton Ghost can be run to make exact duplicates of the hard drive storing the data. I REALLY hope they used disc encryption as well so that it's encrypted while powered down. Would stop any sort of malarkey with taking the drive and ghosting it.
