I noticed that any attempt to move off site was met with different opinions of which site to move to and so on. A post could easily have been stickied with a list of alternate sites, but probably the admins or compromised mods stopped that from happening.

I see nothing wrong with this place other than too few people know about it. The mods should have copied TD's model, and closed the sub with a notice to come here. Then we probably would have gotten a decent level of migration instead of hardly anything.

compromised mods

The r/debatealtright mods were NOT compromised. There was just no consensus on which sub to move too so there was no reason to sticky something.

Got it. I was just baselessly speculating :)

I agree that labelling people as "compromised" with no evidence is bad. But even so, they could have easily stickied a post with various alternatives if they couldn't decide on one.

Agreed. In hindsight is was a bad move not too but I can assure you 'compromised' was not part of that.

I did see a link to this site in a post (although not stickied iirc). But still we already knew the alternatives, it wasn't something unprecedented.
