The Donald just errored out on me, and now opens up to a redirect to a "rebranded Patriots.win." Is this legit, or should I expect federal foul play?

Their sticky's story about the domain ownership is also consistent with the content of this WSJ article I saw posted here a few days ago: https://archive.is/O1JJN

The owner of the domain TheDonald.Win, Jody Williams, said he has been trying for months to purge a surging tide of violent, racist and anti-Semitic postings, an effort he said has triggered multiple daily death threats from censored posters against him and his family. Mr. Williams said a small cluster of the site’s most powerful moderators—including one who controls its code—have thwarted his efforts to rein in such content even as it grew over the last 10 months.

Wait, so were mods purged when the site moved? Because that's never a good sign...

From the announcement on the new patriots.win, it sounds like the opposite happened. The mod who wanted to start suppressing 'violent, racist and anti-Semitic postings' (and received death threats as a result) either quit or got shown the door by the others, but since he was the owner of the T_D.win domain, said other mods had to make the switch to the new domain (which is owned by them and not the guy who left). I've yet to see any indicator that any of the other T_D head honchos besides that one guy has left.

Ah, interesting, thanks!

So basically, the equivalent of moving subreddits to get away from david_me or whatever, if that hadn't been resolved other ways. Yeah, that sounds good.

I don't think so. One specific mod left on their own according to the sticky post, and he was the one who actually owned the domain "thedonald.win".

Looking at their mod list, I'm 100% positive these 4 in particular have been there a long time and that's totally off my memory, I'm sure there are more.

I have no idea which mod was Jody Williams or which mod left, as I don't really go over there much anymore to follow. Of course you can get into whether the mods have been replaced by plants or other levels of paranoia I choose to not go to. The fact of the matter is if it's full of leftist agents now, the most they have about me is what they can ascertain from my posts, a user ID, password, and an IP address. I can deal with that.
