TheDonald.win is an independent internet forum where community participants create discussions and memes supportive of U.S. president Donald Trump and conservative philosophies. TheDonald.win gained popularity after the Reddit community r/The_Donald was shut down in February 2020 when Reddit removed the ability to create new posts from most of its users. Registered members submit content to the site such as links, text posts, and images, which are then voted up or down by other members.
As of August 2020, TheDonald.win ranks as the 1,213th most visited website in the U.S. and 6,760th in the world, according to Alexa Internet.
Site Overview
TheDonald.win is a website comprising user-generated content in a bulletin board system. Similar to Reddit, users can upvote or downvote posts and comments. Upon upvoting a post, an animation of bricks being laid appears, followed by a picture of Donald Trump, a reference to Donald Trump's campaign promise to construct a much larger and fortified border wall.
Users and Moderators
Creating an account with TheDonald.win is free and does not require an email address. Registered users can comment, vote, and post, while unregistered users cannot.
TheDonald.win is overseen by moderators, who are volunteers tasked with enforcing the site's rules. Moderators are unpaid.
Popularity
TheDonald.win has been growing in size since its founding, with popular posts gaining thousands of upvotes in only a few hours and with a consistent increase in traffic based on their Alexa Internet ranking. As of July 2020, TheDonald.win was averaging 34,800 comments and 4,200 posts per day. Over the entire month of July, TheDonald.win received 1,046,349 comments and 125,528 posts. Also, the number of pageviews TheDonald.win receives is double what r/The_Donald received before it was shut down.
Origins
TheDonald.win was created on November 21, 2019, by moderators of the subreddit r/The_Donald. After Reddit quarantined r/The_Donald, moderators of the subreddit promoted TheDonald.win through the use of sticky posts. Moderators touted the site as a backup to the subreddit in the event that it was banned. The promotion caused the site to rapidly gain users. Another surge of users was caused on June 29th, 2020 when the subreddit was banned by Reddit in a purge of around 2000 communities.
