We've put out a new batch of updates, following yesterday's changes.
- settings cog in navbar on both mobile and desktop now open a dropdown with links to additional pages such as saved and hidden posts (highly requested)
- added a listing of posts that you have upvoted, also accessible in new dropdown
- added option in settings to disable inbox replies when users reply to your posts (highly requested, per post setting coming soon)
- the "messages" tab in inbox now only shows private conversations
- added a new "comment replies" tab in inbox
- fixed some issues where content would appear older than it is (>45 mins != "an hour")
- fixed pagination issues on saved and hidden post listings
- fixed pluralization of "comment" when only 1 comment
Our priorities remain image hosting, bringing back the bots, and getting the top sort option re-enabled.
Feel free to put suggestions in the comments.
Share TheDonald.win with all the Trump supporters you know.
Also a note on developers offering to help:
We do see and appreciate your offers, even if we don't reply to them all.
In the case of those with CSS (or perhaps even JS) abilities, we're definitely open to proposed changes. Prepare the changes locally and PM them to me, and I'd happily put them live (assuming they're good).
Mobile QoL changes would be appreciated.
On donations:
The Donald (and any future .wins) will never be monetized, but thanks for the offers.
Still not tired of winning
THIS x2!
Yes
How are you guys funding the website? Are you looking for advertising or donations?
We're not going to monetize at all. Mod funded.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch. How are mods funding it - Monetization of the image hosting sites? Are you open to providing some sort of transparency report regarding operating costs?
We're funding with our own money, there is really nothing more to it.
Costs are very low.
What is the harm in allowing the users who come here to help contribute as well, then? Is it because you don’t want to set up some sort of entity that will get back to your identities? Are you worried you’ll be given more than is needed? Will you be open to changing this if costs do begin to rise? I guess - if it comes to the point that you do need money - will you come to the community before going to any third party?
Yes. It will never get to that point, but yes.
I think it's a good sign that so many of us want you to take our money. I appreciate your position and I hope you don't get too tired of having to explain it. And I apologize for the skeptics that think you are somehow getting something over on us for doing this for "free".
Thank you -- all of you -- for donating your time and effort and for reaching into your own pockets. I respect your decision and your contribution to MAGA.
Ditto! It would be fun if there was merchandise...like someone else mentioned earlier.
Do not be so sure of that...Fully expect the site to come under viscous attack as the election comes near and repair costs to skyrocket.
Not only that, but I highly doubt that this site would be able to handle the large volume of users that the reddit has (probably around 10 million now).
I don't trust all these people asking to donate. In the beginning, it was easier to distinguish pedes and shills.
Now there's an influx of "muh transparency" people. And they don't mention crypto as a way to secure admin identities, which is more suspect.
You guys gave us a free MAGA site. If they don't like it, there's a billion other sites to visit.
Thanks for all the new features btw!!
I'm a simple man. I hate the liberals who say I'm racist for being born white, that think saying "I am genderfluid, therefore I am" is real, who say patriotism is racism, who want the country they live in to fail, who call us nazis and fascists yet accuse us of having the wrong opinion, who think men are evil, and who control media, public schools, and entertainment to indoctrinate youth into believing their evil stupid ways are fact. Therefore, I want to help support the free speech that this site offers.
As I said before, Trump has enough money that I don't feel it would be useful to donate to the Trump Make America Great Again Committee (the thing I got in the mail from Daddy) so I would rather help support this website. The admins don't have infinite money unless someone rich behind the scenes is supporting this place, and we may need more money than they have when the election rolls around as the shits try taking this place down. It would always be good to have a stockpile anyway for an emergency.
I don't know much about cryptos and bitcoin. I did buy some a few years ago using Coinbase, but that was the extent of it. If there was a simple, secure, and private way to do so I would do it if crypto was the option. I do understand the privacy risks involved as I remember how CisWhiteMalestrom (TD creator) was doxxed and threatened for having an opinion "The Fempire" (the name they used in a letter threatening him), but I would like to help out.
I'm not a damn shill, a shitlib, a cuck, or a loser. I just want to help donate some money whether it's through PayPal or Bitcoin. Asking shouldn't be an issue, and it doesn't mean I am trying to secretly figure out the admin's identity. And I've seen you say this 10 times and I want to correct you:
No, there aren't. This is literally the only place for us to speak (that I know of anyway). If there are other websites, feel free to mention them. I'd be highly interested in visiting them.
I’ve both asked for transparency and crypto options, and explicitly pointed out that I understand their concerns may be with privacy.
I think it’s very naive of anyone here to have just witnessed what happened on reddit and not be wary of how this site, too, could be used to influence public opinion on certain topics in a certain direction. When that happens in any other situation you always follow the money.
By the way, any use of crypto still allows for some level of traceability as well, due to the nature of having to convert it to real cash in order to pay real businesses in most cases.
I'm just concerned that costs won't stay low forever. My fear is that butthurt Silicon Valley leftists will start attacking the site, which will prompt Cloudflare to demand either you guys go to the enterprise plan or GTFO.
A little bit of poking around suggests .win is on the free plan (I could be wrong). They definitely won't want to absorb too many large attacks for free.
How low?
I'm guessing Jeb-Bush-energy-levels low
Hey Doggos we just want to buy you a beer or twelve!
If they won't take money, why should they put in time to report how they're spending their own money? Personally even if they opened to donations, I wouldn't care if they took the money and used it for luxury trips to Ukraine.
This website exists because of censorship issues in other places. That censorship happens because Reddit as a company wants to control the narrative and influence public opinion. If we don’t know who is paying the bills beyond “the mod team” we can’t properly account for any deeper motivations involved in the content that is curated on this site either. I don’t want to be beholden to any master, even if I largely agree with the general direction they’re going.
Hmm, I see what you're saying. But what are the options? If they foot the bill we can't control anything.There would have to be a truly public platform, kind of like US mail with no prejudice. I just appreciate being able to escape reddit.
That’s why I’m hoping for some sort of transparency report regarding operating costs at the very least. Just some assurances that some run of the mill everyday people can afford to run all of this without being beholden to some higher entity.
Their own pocket it seems
No, stop asking. Server costs and cloudflare costs between 15-20 admins is the cost of a couple coffees a month.
Thank you so much mods...absolutely fabulous job with the site so far!
Flair when?
Keep on winning, gentlemen.
No shit. I want my Salt Crew flair back.
Love these ideas :)
Bringing back the bots!?
I'm excited!
Can't wait to type No Brakes Everywhere!!
Magnificent stuff. Much appreciated.
MODS == GODS
God bless you, and keep kicking ass. I hope you all have a great day.
BTW, I haven't yet said "thank you" for the preview button. Love it!
Could you possibly have links open in a new tab?
You can do this under most web browsers settings, where links will remain in the same tab/open a new tab/or open a new window.
YES!!!! I miss that!!!!!!!!!
Oops. I just posted asking for this before I saw your post.
This is a pipe dream but I really wish we had a counter for how many shills have been deported.
Awesome. Willing to donate a little to the cause.
Bump
See thread higher up. They don't want our money, just our spicy, spicy memes.
Donate with content and your voice recommending new users. Mods seem comfortable with the funding, but every social media site relies on one thing: audience.
I love coming to thedonald.win first thing in the morning and seeing updates :-)

Nice work!
Yeah, to stop the shills you guys should implement the questionnaire at sign up. A few random questions like:
How many genders are there? Two, 2, dos, (other foreign language equivalents to "two")
Can you choose your gender? No
That will stop the majority of them from getting in, and the rest will be so triggered they'll be easy to spot.
Question: Do you have a male or female vagina? If yes, donate for access.
Thanks for always working to make this place even better. Y'all are really putting the lotion in the basket.
Ha! I've never seen that used as a complement before...so messed up 😁
Mods is there anyway for Trump’s face to come up again next to our posts when we link to his twitter? It’s just a quick way to spot him.
Voting bots and brigades would screw that up royally.
We have the best doggos, don't we folks?
As the site grows it only gets better. Thank you for the continued updates and the continued performance increases. Site only gets better!
I think you should use the framework of this site to make a Reddit competitor. Perhaps with a different domain name. You are in a position to take a non-trivial chunk of their traffic for other subs too.
;)
infinite scrolling would be neat :)
I just want to thank the developers of this sub. Please know you are very appreciated.
Sell merchandise if you don't want donations. WIN-WIN!
Is it possible to get comments to open in a separate tab? i can keep right-clicking and choosing to open in another tab, but it would be nice if I could just set things to do that.
Once all the tons of priority work is done, I would LOVE to have the option to make all links I click open in a new window. I was using that option over at the gulag and I'm so used to it that after I read a post, I close the window thinking I'm going back to the main page, but in reality I've closed everything out.
Mac user on a laptop. No mousie.
You fixed paganization issues? Those of us of faith will be pleased :)
Two suggestions:
Add a link below each child comment that you can click to see the 'Parent' comment.
Add a link at the top of each post's comments to 'Hide all child comments'
Great job guys
Hell ya!
We are going to keep WINNING WINNING WINNING!
You guys are absolutely incredible. Willing to donate here as well - whatever can make this place even better is worth the investment.
Top thing I'd love to see is how many other pedes are online.
Thank you!
Could you find a way to make the inbox message notification more noticeable?
You guys rock
Best mods. Best updates. Thank you.
I support you fuckers no matter what. Doggos you're the man
I don’t think it can be emphasized enough...
MODS == GODS
Thank you for all your had work making our new home miles better than the shithole we were living in.
Any update on a mobile app?
In progress
Yes!! Great news!
Free at last, free at last, thank god almighty I'm free from reddit at last.
Thanks, Doggos and other mods! Our mods = gods.
Thank you for all the work that's been done in a short span of time
The 'Parent' feature below the post is probably worth bringing back at some point. It's hard as heck to tell (sometimes) what a given reply is addressing.
I just saw the dropdown menu on the Settings button. VERY cool! Thank you!
The mods here and the folks with the skillset offering to help really makes this a great community, I am thankful that this exists as big tech tries to shut down everything that doesn't go with the agenda.
This site is getting very good, thanks so much - I don't contribute much but I read everything.
It's nice to have a found a home base for the 2020 fight. Really appreciate the hard work. Just going through upvoting all the Based content. It's the least I can do
We need a bigger upvote button for comments. I am on mobile and I fat finger some intended upvotes into downvotes
Thanks Doggos for all of the awesome updates and transparency. I doubt i'm alone in that I miss the ability to have RES endless scrolling capabilities the most.. just to throw on the list :)
How about a block button?
God bless the creators of this site. I am blessed to be alive in this timeline. Truly thank you all for being here.
