Second level domain. Basically the “name” of the website
thedonald.win
“thedonald” is the SLD, “.win” is the TLD (top level domain).
Having a different SLD per “sub-win” a la “web rings” cripples growth to the point where this will effectively never scale and be competitive in any real sense. Reddit is great because people can easily create communities, allowing rapid scale and growth under the same SLD. Don’t let anybody tell you can’t protect a site under the same SLD. There are MANY ways to do it, seeing as basically every site in existence does this.
This site would vastly improve if it were set up something like this —
From what I gather from the very limited information available between here and communities.win, people seem to be under the false belief that having separate domains will somehow make the site safer from attack (to the point of implementing this archaic web ring system) as it somewhat “decentralizes” (though not really) the separate domains from attack (though also really only one main kind of attack, and certainly not subversion).
This of course complete bullshit, but that’s what I’ve gathered.
I thought it was cause we did’t want to be held accountable for what places like weekendgunnit say or do on their site? Since it’s completely separate no atf knocking down our doors Waco style.

we = SLD
.win = TLD
/s = points to a subdirectory
/thedonald = the subdirectory (“sub-win”)
Have they given a reason why they are not going with a reddit like scheme?
