TheDonald.win owes its success in part to its Reddit-like interface, which has made it a natural landing point for the displaced community of r/The_Donald. Meanwhile, with lighter content moderation than more mainstream platforms, users are afforded a greater degree of freedom in what they can post.
“Where TheDonald.win did really well is to replicate the functionality of Reddit and also created a place where the community could transfer itself over to,” said Mr Carusone. “In a lot of ways it’s a more distilled and refined version of their community, free of safeguards.”
It's kind of funny that they can't help but make it seem like a pretty cool place.
Yeah, there are definitely redpilled people there, but the most interesting conversations are the ones where someone goes from "Why couldn't you have just asked nicely?" to "This is completely unreasonable, I don't think you even watch anime."
Also the ones where moderate lefties (if such a thing still exists) realize that this will likely stoke transphobia. The exact opposite of the stated goal. (Do we have a better word for transphobia yet? Just typing the word feels like propaganda to me now. Why does everything have to be a phobia?)
Some of the memes have been in "Weebs are the most oppressed minority" territory, so there's that.
