As some have noticed, there's a Win post that has been going viral over the last 24 hours.
At the time of writing this post, we've received 1.48 MILLION unique visitors in the last 24 hours, and this number looks like it may exceed 2 million.
After 2 weeks of being off Reddit, Win is discovering the impact it can have, and the potential that Reddit, Inc. spent the last 3 years trying to silence.
Share TheDonald.win with all the Trump supporters in your life.

If you need help let us know, please!
Ironically it’s us maga folk who know how to code. Not those NYT journo types with gender studies degrees.
When that story first came out, I shouted, "Well, don't TELL them... damn." It would have been so much better if people got excited for a week planning how to spend it before Bloomburg would have to disappoint them. LOL
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that the number of engineers it took to build google, facebook, youtube, and reddit was/is far higher than the support team for .win. Disregarding the head start they may have received by using some off the shelf software as a starting point, the output of the .win team has been impressive for its scale. Skills matter.
Furthermore reddit was not itself a new idea when it came about. Does that make it, too, a chinese knockoff?
I work in the software industry and this is spot on. The poster you replied to is clueless.
So what if this is "reddit clone?" Reddit is just another of countless discussion forum platforms that have existed. That poster's complaint is something one person would complain about on the internet 20 years ago because somebody else "stole their website's layout". The internet is so homogenized anymore, reusing shit is part and parcel.
...just another of countless discussion forum platforms...
You are absolutely correct. The first time I saw a discussion "board" was a student written chat on a CDC mainframe (Cyber 70 series) back in the 1970s. They've been around in some form for a loooonnng time.
