We've heard the requests for more updates on the state of Win.

It's been a while since the last update sticky, and while progressed slowed, there have been a number of important updates, including:

  • comments are replyable from inbox, as well as voteable
  • hiding posts (viewable at /hidden)
  • saving posts (viewable at /saved)
  • full formatting of content (lists, blockquotes, etc)
  • mobile QoL changes
  • collapsing comment thread bar
  • comment nesting error at >250 comments fixed
  • a lot more miscellaneous changes

Trolls

There is a very small group of users with a large network of accounts who are only here to cause trouble. We're aware of the situation and are dealing with it as we can.


New Accounts (Spam)

We've faced a number of spam issues already. The first of which was a network of 500 accounts which would blast swastikas and other content that the left wishes we would upvote, to the front page, within minutes of posting. This issue was mitigated immediately.

We have also seen financially motivated spamming of shitty blogs, affiliate offers, and fake Trump gear. This is becoming a key issue, and we are very aware of it.

The final tier of spam that we're seeing is bots (and sometimes dedicated but sad humans) designed to simply shit the place up. We've just put an update live in which new or otherwise high risk accounts will be met with captchas when attempting to submit comments or posts. Legitimate users will see these captchas when they first sign up, but they'll quickly never have to see them again.

No captcha resources are ever loaded in unless you are being displayed a captcha.


Future Updates

We also hear the requests for things such as edit history, previews before submitting, making it clearer where to view hidden and saved posts, image hosting, apolitical boards, and everything else.

We're working on it.

Our request to you, is to share TheDonald.win with all the Trump supporters in your life. Specifically the ones who were never interested in Reddit. The barrier of entry is a lot lower now that you don't need to explain all about what Reddit is.

Feel free to drop suggestions in the comments.
