Being on reddit forced them to tone down and memeify to the point where they were kinda entertaining in the beginning, that's what drew a lot of people in. thedonald.win will end up like another infowars or 4chan, that weird corner of the internet you visit occasionally to look at the weirdness but mostly avoid.

Then again, free speech can seem ugly, when you're used to a carefully curated kind of controlled speech.

Perhaps "nasty" is the wrong word, although I do think there's an element of that. More "delusional"? That is, so divorced from what I perceive as reality that anyone not already on that path is going to be utterly confused by what people there believe, like the other conspiracy-esque sites out there.

EDIT: oops, it's down at 7:33. I guess the landing page is up, but clicking on a discussion sends me back to a Cloudflare gateway timeout page.

Enough said.

Not the case with /r/donaldtrump, which was banned a day or two ago.

If they then use that platform to plan something dangerous and illegal, a competent law enforcement should be able to stop it and arrest them on grounds of conspiracy or hate speech.

The same could be said if the account remained on Twitter. In fact, one could argue that's better platform for law enforcement to take action.

The popular platforms are full of dog whistles and memeified hate speech as people moderate them self in order to make the content more palatable for the general public and prevent being kicked of the platform. In an unmoderated dark corner of the internet that is not necessary. So arguable twitter is a terrible place for law enforcement to hunt down racists and prevent their terrorism.
