I believe that this specific site is donation-funded. It would be unwise for any community to build itself only in one place, let alone one that is in no sense permanent. Nonetheless, the rules here seem easy to follow (mainly, obey the pyramid of debate, no violence advocacy), and we are obviously grateful for this place. Some argue that having a presence in many places means that individual communities would be inactive, but I believe that having a presence in as many places as possible is best. This way, if any place one day closes, launches a ban wave, etc., there is little confusion among its members over 'Where do we go?'

I think the main problem at the moment is that 'DAR' (this sub) doesn't actually have a 'non-debate' alternative which is where most activity should be carried. Already we have both the mod and at least one or two outsiders wondering why 'DAR' (this sub) currently looks it should be just 'AR'. Of course, neither our side nor those few who start a debate thread without seeming as though they are looking for a fight actually know of this place. As more Reddit communities get purged (especially more TERF subs and other contrarian Left subs like 'LGBdroptheT' and 'detrans' get purged) more Leftists will come here. Thus the site mod does not have to worry about this site becoming another Voat. Just looking at "Find New Subs" shows that the overwhelming majority of them are nothing to do with us (to me, two of the 20 most recently made look like they're ours, and both have only one member). Also, the fastest growing sub looks to be s/GenderCritical (TERFs expelled from Reddit), which means a massive Leftward shift is happening already.

So what subs here relate to us? Here are all those I can find, excluding those with inactive mods or user bases, and those already on this sub's sidebar:

NRx: s/DarkEnlightenment

Third Position: s/Fascism (s/the3rdposition/ is inactive)

Country-specific: s/altunitedkingdom s/England

Banned from Reddit and with common membership overlap: s/KotakuInAction s/KotakuInAction2 s/shitneoconssay s/DeuxRAMA s/ConsumeProduct

Other: s/AltRight_Memes s/WW2Myths

Ruqqus guilds, same criteria as above (the site still barely works, but membership growth in some of these is phenomenally high for such an obscure site): +DebateAltRight +The3rdPosition +ShitNeoconsSay +BasedDepartment +Coomer +MAGA +DeuxRAMA +milliondollarextreme +ShitLeftistsSay +ZoomerRight +WesternBetrayal +BasedDocumentaries +LeftCantMeme +ClownWorld
