How exactly is TheDonald.win "sheer nasty"? Give some examples. I've perused that site and there's a lot of outrage at how the President has been treated, true, but I don't see much nasty.
Then again, free speech can seem ugly, when you're used to a carefully curated kind of controlled speech.

Search for BLM and go through pages 25 through 30. I found multiple comments/posts calling or implying violence against left-leaning politics and black people.

Well I'd go check but the site seems to be down.
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.

It's not down. You do have to pass a captcha because all the crazies are targeting the site.

It's back, as of 7:31 EST, and no captcha. But it's still very slow. But so is hacker news, at least for me.
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.
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.
