Reddit Inc has recently adjusted The Donald's quarantine so that when visiting the subreddit via New Reddit, you must be logged in and you must have a verified email address.

Exceptions apply where your account has already opted in to the subreddit in the past before the verified email requirement went into effect.

We're also seeing that logged in users can access the subreddit like usual when on the official Reddit apps without email verification, but logged out users receive an error:

We had trouble loading the data. Please try again.

This is the most significant issue, as our mobile traffic is one of the subreddit's biggest sources, and Reddit Inc is masking the new email requirement as a server error. For now, we have updated our banner to inform users of what has happened to mitigate these issues.

It's likely that Reddit Inc will expand this new restriction to Old Reddit and Mobile Reddit.

There appears to be no noticeable drop in activity at this time, but we've seen many reports of users being unable to access the subreddit.

If you are encountering issues accessing the subreddit, please comment below which platform you use, and whether you browse logged in or logged out.

This is clearly nothing but another attempt at killing The Donald. We're confident that win has garnered enough signups and bookmarks that the vast majority of our community will know where to go if the day comes. Reddit Inc will then be to blame for unleashing the undeniable #1 most effective political community on the internet.

They don't want to close it down and have everyone talk about thedonald.win

That'll only happen if they actually read people's thoughts and comments... If they only come here to downvote everything possible and post inflammatory comments to be able to screen shot them and show them to other people as if it were normal T_D contributors. Likely they'll just be creating alt accounts and posting ridiculous shit none of us here agree with or genuinely think.

turtlenecknchain 20 points ago +20 / -0

I initially visited TD to troll and downvote. You can't help being red pilled, when you glance at post titles before you downvote them. I think a lot of Liberals have been converted this way. The memes were also a huge draw.

Maybe downvotes can be limited over time duration or log/highlight those accounts. TD.W can evolve into a structure that fits its purpose.

Had to laugh when I saw your comment.

My grandsons were here last wknd, the 14 yr old saw my screen when he woke up early one morning. I was scrolled down reading comments and said "You're on Reddit??" I laughed & said heavens no, the format is similar but this is a Trump supporter site!

I think that eased his mind...who wants to think their granny frequents the same sites you do, when you're 14!? hahaaa!

TDAF 7 points ago +7 / -0

No compromising needed. I'm sure there are Spez admins who can spoof T_D mods without detection. When messaging a sub moderator (e.g., to argue the reasons for being banned) there is no indication that you are conversing with a specific T_D mod.

They just don't want casual browsers to see it. They're fine if we're just by ourselves. It's their election effort.

Why can't there be a shut down day...Just pick a day to shut the whole thing down...Don't have to announce the day...just sticky a post that it will happen and why. When the chose day has come...unplug and erase the subreddit...can that be done by moderators?

I am sure this has been gamed out hasn't it?

Make it so that only thedonald.win links can be posted. All text posts and photo/video uploads are allowed but direct link submissions can only be a thedonald.win post.

Remember that gay police disclaimer TDR auto generated on every submission? How about making one that says 'this would also look good on TheDonald.win'?

So flip it up and down at random. Drive them nuts. Remember the time you shut it down for an hour? Do more of that (with a link here). Then flip it on again. Don't announce it of course - just go random.

Do it like a lightswitch rave.

Reddit is trying to stifle your speech. Literally any alternative service is preferable to the one that is actively trying to silence you.

Every meme you view on Reddit is funding the leftist machine. Delete your account and move on!

Saremei 1 point ago +4 / -3

Never. I'm not a quitter. Reddit is the goal, even when the Donald is gone from reddit, it should still be the target of everyone here or the movement dies outright.

Reddit would like nothing more than taking the win for it deciding to close down. I say we keep being a thorn in their sides. Massively promote td.win and pick a day when we all submit new stories about how spez is a cuck.

Make them delete us.

fdagasfd 3 points ago +3 / -0

See, I'm sitting here wondering whether r/T_D will be up at all come November.

It's an interesting trap spez has wrangled for himself.

As the "free speech site of the internet" they can't very well outright ban anyone who isn't a liberal. But their liberal base is insane and beyond justifying censorship so they can't very well not censor conservatives.

Personally I'm betting on the coward's route: spez will add more bureaucracy to inconvenience conservatives without actually banning them. So like in Oct 2020 you'll have to give them your home address and do 20 capchas to see/post in T_D.

Linking from a search engine also precludes you from viewing the result, unless you offer your email, sign up to that foreign site, eventually receive an email, respond to the email, log in, then search again for the specific part of the site, find it, cut, paste into browser, and you're gold!

Other than that it's like any other search result.

I honestly won't use Reddit anymore. I've been a long time user of the site waaayy back in the early dayz. Had several accounts shut down now since 2016 b/c of the totalitarian cataclysm that they've become. I could care less about Reddit anymore to be honest.

Their service is a commodity. I like /r/gundeals and a few other subr but can find the info elsewhere.

In my eyes the worst is coming around summer when the election heats up. My guess is TD will be pressured to fold and they'll have attacks prepped to bring this site down immediately after. We have to be prepared for negative publicity and cyber attacks.

Just assume they are doing everything possible to avoid a rerun of the last election.

Meh, went over recently and honestly the comment were a bunch of low energy postings. 100 people saying what amounts to the same thing under every new post. Plus, for whatever reason, every account I create on Reddit gets shadowbanned in a matter of posts. First post on some meaningless, non-political sub = good, 2 updoots. second and third on up? stuck at 1 updoot forevermore.
