I don't like giving out my phone number HOWEVER most services ask for your phone number at signup as a bad way to combat spam accounts.

It used to be to make a new account you just needed a email and password. Well the average person could easily make many new email addresses or use any "one minute email" services on the web to make hundreds of accounts.

Now most places ask for a phone number since the average person only has one number, their cell number. That way the average person can't spam out hundreds of accounts. Sure there are free texting services online but it's easy enough for services to only allow one unique phone number for any account. Or use Google voice to get a phone number but you will hit a limit.

So, not a great way to combat people making spam account since you have to give your phone number away.

Saw a news article on tv about them like a week to two weeks ago in Washington State, but really haven't heard of any new news about them

I think what happen is that the mod team wanted a more equal ownership of the domain rather then just one person owning it (new domain is spit 24/24/24/24/4 which 4 is for a tie breaker).

Mod team got uneasy of the owner so they made they new domain patriots.win. They (mod team) then update the site to the redirect (the old domain before taken down had been replaced with text saying like "dont worry we are moving" and had a button to go to the new domain). Mod team had access to make changes to the website but had no ownership over the domain.

Owner of old domain gets upset (owner didn't want to give up any part of the ownership so the rest of the team left him and made their own site) seeing the redirect and takes down the domain.

The highlighted message is referring to if the original owner can understand why the rest of the team left him and decides to use that domain to redirect to the new domain (accept that not giving over ownership was wrong).

At first I thought the switch was weird (didn't really like thedonald.win till the reddit subreddit got shut down then things started to be better) but not having control of a big website where one person could back stab the rest of the team is dangerous.

Not trying to doom but I don't think the fake media will view the military as non-partisan and will claim that Trump is making the military to do the arrests.
