I'll throw you on the sidebar at the c.win site. I'd recommend reaching out to some of your old contributors and inviting them to c/dieversity (and c/debatealtright as well).

I don't want to make another reddit since its such a hassle to manage in the modern day so I'm hoping to grow my backup platform instead.

Reddit is a lost cause. In 2017 and 2018 we lost hundreds of quality subs with lots of active users. It's not worth wasting the time trying to rebuild on reddit. Reddit admin will auto kill your sub after it hits a certain influence threshold.

sadly not many people from reddit want to leave it.

Very true. We ran into the same problem when reddit banned us. We probably had 100-200 very active regular contributors that mentioned daily how much they hated reddit. Yet maybe only 10% made the transition and maybe only half of those are still with us. Just make sure you do try to send out some personal DM invites. Ask your former mod team or power users to help you do a schindler's list type thing and figure out all the names of former contributors.

I'm guilty of being one of those people who stuck around on Reddit after DAR was banned. I just kept rotating from one account to another and tried to play nice. The convince and volume of the platform is addictive, it makes you not want to leave. In the end it was a tranny joke on KiA that got me permabanned. For a few days I was in a bit of a daze... I had forgotten how to exist on the internet with out Reddit. But I'm glad they banned me. Reddit is trash and eventually they're going to ban everyone who's not trash.

It also made me realize how naïve I was about privacy. I didn't know about browser fingerprinting, canvas fingerprinting, etc. I stupidly thought that if I made new accounts I'd be safe. Nope. When they banned me they got every single one of my alts in one shot. When I learned how all of that works it made me not want to even touch that site again.

Well at least we know you're white.

I feel you man. I was a reddit addict as well. I remember you from back in the reddit DAR days. Good to see you drop by. They just killed a huge reddit account I've had for 7 years. I don't even know exactly why they banned it. I hadn't used the account for months. Reddit is out of control with the censorship. They must be gearing up for something huge that they need total information control to pull off. I thought the vaxx aids things was big but I have the feeling that was just prelude.

I hope you are preparing my fren.

I feel it too, that something big is coming. Maybe it's just a side effect of having been engaged in this online psychological warfare for close to a decade at this point. Maybe I'm just burned out on it and wishing for something cataclysmic to happen, something that puts an end to the current state of affairs. I can't shake this silly hopeful idea that if the establishment goes full Stalin that.. THAT will be the thing that finally wakes up Normie.

But if something big is actually in the works... I think it's going to be a dollar crash. Russia/China/India will go their own way with a new reserve currency and no one will buy our debt anymore. Wiemar-level hyper inflation. Mass panic. That's when the government will roll out Central Bank Digital Currency. Post Covid, people are so programmed to look to the authorities and experts for solutions that they'll eagerly jump on board. "You can track my purchases, deny them at will, delete my GovCoins.... I don't care, just let me buy food!."
