NO ADS. Are you kidding me? It took me this long to notice? No wonder it looks so good. I wish mods would allow donations to this site cause it fucking rocks.

I know right? That is why whenever you see a moron complaining they are monetizing the community they are completely full of shit. Shills always use the same concern posts.

Concern trolling is the most effective trolling cause it’s hard to spot. That’s why I’m constantly browsing New. I’ve deported a handful of people.

It ain’t much but it’s honest work.

I wouldn't be opposed to some sort of monetization, just to pay for the operating expenses. But, I wouldn't want them to use an ad network. I block those, because they are a known vector for malware.

However, the moderators have already said: don't worry about expenses, we've got this.

Reddit gold style Patriot Bricks maybe? Let's build the wall!

The problem will be handling the contributions. Paypal has frozen the accounts of people it doesn't like (like the conservative street artist known as Sabo).

The most secure method would be a cryptocurrency like BitCoin, but that has its own pitfalls.

That's very true. It's crazy that the entire system is against us. We can make our own payment system but then the card companies (eg Visa, Mastercard) won't service it. We basically need an entirely parallel banking and finance system.

It's not just "no ads". There are no tracking scripts, either.

They are also working on removing dependencies on the Google APIs.

I hope they accept crypto when they finally add a donation button.

between the lack of ads, lack of trackers, and minimal javascript, this site really is a joy to use. The browser task manager makes it pretty obvious if you compare this site with Reddit. Reddit uses 10x as much memory and churns the cpu even when your'e doing nothing. Amazing how awful web sites have become in 2019.

America is a dream. We can’t let that dream die just because our political opposition have chosen kamikaze politics.

Just because you’re exercising your 2nd amendment right doesn’t mean that it’s ironic! I wish I owned a weapon to protect my home. Go you!
