Also I think it's curious that td.win does not list its subscriber count, although they regularly show their rising rank on Alexa.

Interesting. magnora7 noticed that their alexa rank chart is smoother than basically every other site on this list, which could be evidence of extensive bot traffic: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/fas4on/list_of_active_reddit_alternatives_50/

Aside from that I support everyone's free speech and all reddit alternatives and fuck Reddit.

I'm not saying that "Russian Bots hurr durr". But political activists do use bots. Even the alt-right. I would be surprised if there were some bots there.

At the same time, it is fucking HARD to grow traffic organically & rapidly. It wouldn't surprise me if Bots were being pushed to drive people to the site, the same way political agitators are sent into tense areas to organize people into larger semi-organic protests.
