The new domain, patriots.win, was registered only 6 hours ago. Mods previously had announced a short list of backup domains to go to if the site was taken down or thedonald.win services were somehow terminated or compromised.

Why the decision, which seems hurried and out of nowhere, to rebrand to patriots.win and bring in an entirely new domain, never before discussed or even mentioned with the members of the site, instead of moving to one of the 'known/established' backup domains while a new home was established?

Just seems a bit rushed, to quickly register a completely brand new domain, plop down a redirect page, and first post after that is to sticky new 'branding' with the new URL, new Gab account, new everything rather than move to a 'trusted' backup site until a clear path forward was announced?

thedonald.space is redirecting here so one of the back ups is working. They claim .one is compromised also and .xyz doesn't seem to be working at all.

Noticed that... all good on my end. Also, just now saw the youtube video/interview of the former mod which adds a lot of context for someone like me who was just mostly a lurker and someone who was out of the loop on the internal politics of running the site. Didn't even know about the WSJ/MSM article existed about the site until now.

I think every single one of the moderators and those who dedicated so much time to creating, building, running, and expanding this site are fucking MOD GODS. For me, they will be MOD GODS FOREVER. Sometimes it's possible to have fallen gods, those who just disagree so much with their fellow gods it's time to move on and do other godly things. After having started several businesses with all kinds of business partners, I get that, okay...

All the hate being piled on a former mod god, IMHO, is unwarranted tho..... the dude seemed pretty based other than the disagreements with the other mod gods... without knowledge of all the other happenings inside the mod god circle, all I can do is place his mod god statue on the side of the altar and wait to eventually learn more. ;-)
