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.
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'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.
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.
