not taking the same precautions Gab did... and they just did what Gab did without telling anyone
I'm not sure why this would surprising. They simply started out with their own hosting - something that used to be standard practice before AWS existed, and what many small websites around the world still do. It's not something one needs to advertise. In fact it is better not to.
I agree regarding funding though. The admins actively reject an advertising model. Obviously somebody is propping the place up, perhaps from sources the admins don't know about, and there is no telling when they will come to collect.
originally dot win was created by r/T_D mods, when reddit showcased open hostility to sub; first it was thedonald.win, then kia2 joined community, more reddit refugees also started join; on side thedonald.win changed to patriots.win due site owner going rogue; then it also joined into community.win pool (by memory, I was one of users who joined thedonald.win on first week ppl could sign to it)
Since Epik got pwned and their entire customer's database is available as torrent: not much.
Parler, Gab and .win are very likely compromised or can at least easily become compromised.
I used to follow along the main admins/developer more back when it was still much more in development. I didn't really take any red flags from him. I do think he likely has an alternate account for actual discussion. I haven't paid attention to it much in 2020.
On top of that, it's not like I've provided enough personal info or am even the most egregious poster here anyway. Yeah, with enough effort I'm sure I could be tracked by a combination of IP tracking and browser fingerprinting even with the measures I put in place for that. Honestly, if they are to the point of going that far to track down someone for some mild anonymous internet wrongthink, then it's progressed far enough to decide if perhaps my time has come and it's time to go out in a blaze of glory. I'd be expecting the site to get shut down long before that.
Trust them with what? They don't have my real name, age, address, phone number, or anything readily identifiable.
Do I trust them with with burner email address? Absolutely!
Nothing I say here isn't something that I wouldn't back up in public. I guess that's the benefit of not LARPing is that you never have to walk anything back.
Even if the data and domain are independently hosted, the user accounts are managed by communities.win. If they were compromised we'd have to start over.
Don't say anything here (or anywhere on the internet) that you wouldn't want posted on the evening news.
I'd give my left nut to have things that would get me banned here read aloud on the evening news.
It would do the news-watchers some good to hear that our government is unfathomably corrupt and morally illegitimate... and logical conclusions that follow.
I'd even give them a nice current photo of me to put up next to the quote.
Well enough. It was founded by the T_D people, and they offered FreeCanada a spot on the site, but they declined.
I think that's an oversimplification of what happened.
My understanding is that the mods of freecanada reached out to the site admins here about creating a new space, but got ghosted for months.
By the time the site admins responded and offered a spot here, the FCW admins had already set up a new community elsewhere with their own forum setup and a small community that wouldn't port over easily.
As much as I can throw them, and seeing as how I have no idea where the physical servers are than means just above zero but then I'm extremely cynical and don't trust much these days because history keeps teaching me little, if anything, is trustworthy.
I don't trust anyone, but I am content to be open with my opinions. Maybe one day this place will go down and the surface web bans every input that ever leaves my keyboard, it'll just be time to create a parallel internet.
The omegacanada situation is the shining star of what the folks running this place truly believe in. Left wing absolute control and censorship. Do not, under any circumstances, think that the people here support you. There is a reason they are encouraging literal nazi propaganda to spread about the main patriots page. Either a honeypot or they're legitimately nazis. This is super fucked up and get away from this place before it's too late. You have been warned.
As with anything on the internet. Only as much as i need to. A healthy bit of caution is always a good idea no matter what forum your on.

Or the admins are just paying for it out of pocket. This isn't Youtube or something. All this site does is store text on static html pages.

hol up what'd Gab do?
We're internet nomads. This is just our current outpost.
I don't see the sense in stressing over it beyond that.
Every day is a gift.
Much more than reddit, where the admins are pedophile communists who openly plot white genocide.

Even better is when your real life personality is more radical then your online one because gay jannies can't delete your words in real life.
Gay jannies can censor these fists irl.

Independent from Communities.win?
Doubtful. I don't own it.
Don't say anything here (or anywhere on the internet) that you wouldn't want posted on the evening news.
But if they're going to arrest/cancel you for just having non-approved ideals then you won't be allowed to have those ideals in real life either.

I just assume the Hackers on Estradiol have been running multiple Nessus configurations on every alt-tech social thing they can find 24/7

^this. fuck the trannies
I trust the faggot jannies here to sell us out in a heartbeat.

I don't trust anything or anyone
always has been

A little dramatic, don't you think?
