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.
Origins
Thedonald.win was originally a subreddit on the website Reddit titled r/thedonald, created on June 27th, 2015, to keep track of Donald Trump's presidential campaign. It soon became one of the internet's hotspots for supporting Donald Trump. In 2020, thedonald.win became the new home for the former subreddit due to Reddit quarantining the subreddit, preventing other users from searching for the subreddit. On June 29th, 2020, their original home on Reddit was banned in a purge of around 2,000 various subreddits, but the subreddit was already abandoned from the move to thedonald.win.
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.
