Copying from another comment of mine:

Not too concerned about the logout, as we do that fairly frequently anyway (by which I mean probably twice in the last six months)

The bigger concern is people who use a password manager or rely on their browser to save their password.

Since you now login via another domain, the password manager won't have anything.

You can surely still recover your password, but there's far too many combinations of browsers and password managers to try to provide any help.

Yes.

ouch

How's it feel to have a broken profile?

We won't redirect thedonald.win anywhere, bit eventually we'll add a new navbar and left-swipe sidebar which will push users to the other communities.

Yeah, that's how all the big platforms work now. If you've got 5k followers they'll show your posts to a handful and charge you if you want to show it to the rest of them.

Have you posted this multiple times? If so, there's an issue where not all comments appear in big threads (different depending on your sort option) due to server resources. Your comments are sending though (visible if you sort the thread by new, also going to my inbox)

Comment issue is a work in progress.

How are the page views counted? Is scrolling the front page and unfolding posts counted as 1 page view?

If I were to go to the front page and click the camera icon under all of the image post titles, that would count as only one pageview.

When you post the numbers of images served, do those include the parts of the site design or just the memes from the posts?

This includes the site design, but those are statistically irrelevant, since the site design will be cached locally.

Are you reluctant to publish the number of active users because it would debunk the myth about reddit doctoring the sub count?

No. If we were using Reddit's logic for tracking monthly active users, we would be at 7 to 8 million for November 2020. Reddit told us around 1 million.

No, the numbers in the screenshot are from a few days before we locked it down so just moderators (and Fitton) would post.

I sometimes wonder whether the OGs lurk.

thedonald.one, thedonald.xyz, thedonald.space

We're safe with hosting.

I almost suggested it to the other moderators a few weeks ago. Depending on the license, it might be possible to fork all the pages from Wikipedia and remove the bullshit. That could be realistic.

Yes. You'll be able to access The Donald from thedonald.win (with all the CSS) or from communities.win/c/thedonald (with all the CSS).

Most communities will only be accessible via communities.win, however with SSO (login once, and you're logged in across all Win sites) it will be totally seamless to jump across.

We never intended to add any more moderators, that whole temp team post and deadline was just to buy a few extra days.

I just found these logs and I wanted to share. Compare this to where we are now (310 million pageviews in the last 30 days, consistently 120+ million pageviews per month even before the election) and wow - we made the greatest escape from Big Tech. The Donald was in a very bad state for quite some time on Reddit, as the restrictions got tighter and tighter, our traffic was diving. Win has gone far better than our predicted best case scenario. We expected we might be able to retain 30-40% of the subreddit users at best, but instead The Donald is stronger than it has ever been.

It is known that we intend to expand beyond The Donald, and provide for more than just politics. Right now we're letting the election play out, as we would rightfully receive backlash if we diverted attention elsewhere during this period. I know some people aren't happy with the timeframe, but there's been a lot of things to juggle.

Here's the important part: if our expansion from an exclusively political forum to a platform goes as well as our transition from /r/The_Donald to TheDonald.win did - and this will again rely on you all taking part in future communities and sharing the platform with others - then we have an amazing chance at building a true competitor.

Fuck u/spez. Also thanks u/spez.

I'm not one for censorship.

Had to do it.

But on this note, including "please sticky this" in the title doesn't help. Also (and this is not directed at OP), please stop posting the "<- this many people agree" or "upvote if you agree" posts.

Also, read this.

That shouldn't necessarily cause issues though, should it? Unless the private tab doesn't allow cookies?

Do you have cookies disabled, or anything like that?

Interesting. We might be erroring when there's a login request without a referrer. I'll look into it. If it impacted one person now, it will impact hundreds of people when we release it to The Donald. Thanks!

We use Git, although perhaps not very well. We would be able to release a crucial hotfix if needed.

Ah, blocking cookies will cause issues...

Current thought is that any talk of social issues is gone by default. That doesn't mean that it's not allowed on Win, just that any communities that actively permit talk of social issues will not be shown on the front page (yes, like reddit.com/r/all) by default.

We would have plenty of filters, one of which would allow users to include social issues content.

I don't know if thedonald.win was supposed to be logged in as well?

Nope. The Donald doesn't yet have this update.

I can't ignore it, finding bugs is the reason I posted!

This is an important bug report. There will be potentially thousands of users using the same extension and having the same issue. Which browser are you using?
