The website was created on November 21, 2019, by moderators of r/The_Donald. After Reddit quarantined r/The_Donald, moderators of the subreddit promoted TheDonald.win through the employ of sticky posts, touting the site as a backup to the subreddit in the event that it was banned. The site apace gained users as a upshot of the promotion. There was another surge of users to the site on June 29, 2020, when the subreddit was banned by Reddit in a purge of around 2,000 communities.[lxxx] As of December 2020, TheDonald.win ranked as the 464th most visited website in the United States and 2,875th worldwide, according to Alexa Net.[81]

Every bit of January 21, 2021[update], Epik was providing services to Patriots.win.[79] [84]

In late January 2021, in response to the GameStop curt clasp being carried out by the subreddit r/wallstreetbets, Patriots.win created an unofficial backup forum of the subreddit in an attempt to gain new users.[85] However, according to The Daily Dot, the bulk of users on the backup forum were Trump supporters already from Patriots.win.[85]

On August 27, 2021, the U.South. Business firm of Representatives select committee investigating the Capitol attack demanded records from Patriots.win (alongside fourteen other social media companies) going back to the bound of 2020.[86]

Throughout Trump'southward 2016 campaign, as well equally the beginning of Trump's presidency, journalists noted that several of Trump's tweets contained images that originally appeared on the subreddit.[93] On July 6, 2016, in response to his deleted tweet containing the Star of David, Trump accused Disney of antisemitism on Twitter, which was accompanied with a photo of a sticker book based on the Disney film Frozen.

They also calculated that r/The_Donald hosted 35.37% of URLs from 54 alternative news sites "like Infowars" on Reddit.[102]

Prominence on Reddit

Algorithm

Through the utilise of "sticky posts", a moderation role of Reddit that allows selected posts to be artificially placed at the tiptop of a subreddit, the moderators of the forum were "gaming" the algorithms[103] [104] in order to dominate the content on the r/all page, which is a representation of the most popular content on the website.[four] Additionally, users were often apt to flood the website with waves of identical images or posts, a straight violation of site-broad policies regarding spam. In response, Huffman rolled out a alter to the r/all algorithm; he noted that r/The_Donald was among several Reddit communities over the years that "attempt to dominate the conversation on Reddit at the expense of anybody else".[28] [20] [105] Ongoing issues with members of the subreddit brigading and harassing other subreddits forced Reddit staff to modify the site'due south software algorithms to limit the offending posts to the subreddit. The Reddit team introduced r/popular to replace r/all, which included most popular subreddits except for The_Donald, and every bit a event the subreddit could no longer achieve the front page.[106] [107] In February 2017, Reddit overhauled their algorithms even farther to prevent content from the subreddit (among other communities) from ever being seen by logged out users or people who practise not have a Reddit account.[48]

In a 2018 report by University College London, r/The_Donald was the most active subreddit when it comes to posting memes. The study explained that "Reddit users are more interested in politics-related memes than other type of memes."[108]

Conflict with Reddit management

The harassment directed at Huffman past r/The_Donald users led to changes in the manner in which Reddit deals with problematic communities and users. Since being harassed by the community, Huffman stated that Reddit is going to start actively policing problematic users: "Nosotros're taking a different strategy now. We are focusing more on, similar, taking care of the individual users instead of doing it at the customs level which was largely our strategy before."[113]

In March 2017, users of r/The_Donald accused Reddit of discriminating against them when Reddit'southward advertising platform portrayed r/The_Donald as having 6,000,000 subscribers instead of the 385,000 displayed on the subreddit live counter available to the public.[114] The Reddit Director of Communications stated that the subscriber discrepancy was a elementary labeling fault wherein the count for "daily unique visitors" was mistakenly labeled equally "subscribers" and that the mistake would exist partially fixed past the finish of the mean solar day.

In May 2019, onetime Reddit CEO Ellen Pao told Mother Jones that the subreddit should exist banned for non following the site'due south rules. Notwithstanding, she as well best-selling that "it's hard to take downwards a subreddit which is driving a lot of traffic".[115]

In early March 2018 congressional investigators revealed that they program to question Reddit and Tumblr as role of their investigation into the Russian interference surrounding the 2016 U.S. presidential election with Representative Adam Schiff urging Reddit and other major online platforms to make more information available nigh the extent of Russia'southward online propaganda efforts.[139] Huffman afterward admitted that Reddit was aware that the site was a target of Russian propagandists, and users of the website criticized Reddit for concealing Russian activity on the website and for not working fast enough to ban extremist communities.[140] When asked why the r/The_Donald community was not banned from the website, Huffman replied that "Banning them probably won't achieve what yous want. However, letting them fall autonomously from their own dysfunction probably volition."

The subreddit was criticized past Vice, which stated in an article that the subreddit was "disciplinarian", "racist", "misogynistic", "homophobic", "Islamophobic", and a "hypocritical 'gratis speech' rallying indicate".[xx] The publication Slate described r/The_Donald as a "hate speech forum"[142] and The Verge has described it as a "notoriously fetid troll swamp".[143] Co-ordinate to The New York Times, "[thousand]embers respond to accusations of bigotry with defiant claims of persecution at the hands of critics. It is an article of faith among posters that anti-racists are the existent bigots, feminists are the actual sexists, and progressive politics are, in upshot, regressive."[30] The subreddit also spread simulated news and promoted conspiracy theories[9] [46] such equally "Pizzagate".[110] In February 2017, Atlantic Council'due south Digital Forensic Inquiry Lab analyzed how the subreddit was able to spread false news throughout like subreddits and conspiracy sites.[144] The subreddit is also connected to the alt-correct[three] [145] [146] [147] while an commodity past The Washington Mail connected the moderators of closely related Trump subreddits to racist subreddits such as "r/Quranimals" and "r/Rapefugees".[148] 1 moderator banned users for reporting Islamophobia to the subreddit, saying, "Jesus Christ people, stop reporting Islamophobia. We don't fucking intendance near our 'Islamophobia trouble' AT ALL!"[8] [20] [149] The National Memo noted that "moderators take made the occasional attempt to rid r/The_Donald of overt racism and anti-Semitism"[150] and The Economist emphasized that the moderators "at least endeavor" to remove anti-semitism from the subreddit.[21]

Motherboard interviewed a moderator of the subreddit, who said "[t]he people from /pol/ who tin behave, which is probably most of them, stay. The people who don't behave usually air current upwardly getting banned for rule iii."[20] The New York Times too noted that, in addition to the subreddit's "no racism/anti-Semitism" policy, the subreddit also warns against "dissenters or SJWs" posting on in that location and that "concern trolling" is likewise banned.[15] Gizmodo commented that the subreddit "revealed how piece of cake the site's ageing algorithm is to game," comparison their actions to the profitability of fake news posted on Facebook.[151] Gizmodo as well referred the subreddit as "Trump supporters' de facto base of ability on Reddit".[152] Pol described the subreddit as "a message board that acted as a conduit between 4chan and the mainstream Web".[88]
