If you truly want this to become a replacement for the subreddit that should not be named, you have to fix this shit fast. The performance / latency on this site is god-awful. I understand you are using CloudFlare to safeguard against DDOS attacks, and I get that this site is a target for the left to hammer, but there is no good reason why the performance and usability of this site has to be total shite when you have had so many people (good people) offer their skills and services (probably for free) to help you fix this shit.

Protip: there are a ton of people in this community (me included) who have razor-sharp skills on building websites that scale, perform well, and have a decent usability experience.

You have provided zero to no instruction on how these people can get involved and help. Thus, you are failing miserably.

Embrace the help. If that means getting on a discord chan or slack chan or whatever and vetting ppl, do it. But this site needs a ton of work to become usable. We want to help. Let us help. Tell us how we can help.
