Question in the title. Since it seems like reddit is comitting sudoku, and multiple subs have gotten banned, are there any other oasis' like the two I mentioned? I'm curious as to what forums I can browse.

Looks like there's a GavinMcinnes, ConsumeProduct (one of today's ban victims) and OmegaCanada (which is the /r/MetaCanada community). I am not aware of who else has made the leap, though I was told there are quite a few more in the process of getting themselves set up.
BE WARNED
Wait for an official release from the mod teams before you join these .win's. Because the username and passwords are the same across all .win's, there's the worry that some sites are fake and will try to steal your accounts.
On communities.win they specifically state to only trust the extensions listed there.
That is the correct place to check for official .wins, confirm that the sidebar there contains the .win in question.
Good warning. Thanks.
Good looking out
there is also a FatPeopleHate.win registered!!! but not up yet.
It should be allowed according to the new reddit rules. Hate is OK if it is directed at majorities.
Real shit??
Bro, we're going oldschool with that one. I thoroughly miss that subreddit.
PS: don't sign up for anything that the admins haven't approved. I'm sure triggered jannies are out there trying to steal your password.
You can see which ones are real by using the list in the sidebar here: https://communities.win/
What did r/consumerproducts do?
Mock leftism.
I used it a lot and as far as I can tell, nothing. They were a quickly growing sub who made fun of consumer society and big brands pandering to people.
Remember that the bans were spurred by multi-million dollar advertisers threatening to pull ads if sites like Reddit, Facebook, etc don't ban who they want. These companies definitely don't want people encouraging you to be critical of big brands.
Shitting on their pandering must be the ultimate corporate sin. To be fair, it must be surprising to see how many people eat that shit up. I wouldn't want anyone with a brain wandering in and fucking with my herd of unthinking consoomers either.
Probably posted the “dear [insert minority here], on this [day/month] that is special to you, we want you to know that we care about you. That is why we are adding your [flag/symbol] to our social media accounts and websites. Sincerely, [major brand]” meme and that was considered hateful.
I'm not seeing any list there...am I being a dumdum?
It's along the right sidebar. There are just a few.
Edit: It's on desktop - the mobile site doesnt have sidebar
Ah, thanks. Turns out, the sidebar only shows up if my browser is expanded wide enough.
always go full-girth!
To view the sidebar on mobile you can click either the search button or the three lines (hamburger?) on the right side
I really hope this opens up to be a full Reddit replacement. Even the technology and science subreddits are fucking packed with orange man bad bullshit over there. I dont need or want a right wing safespace, Im not even politically on the right. I just dont want far left communist bullshit, political correctness, and woke bullshit thrown at my face everywhere.
edit: man, I really need a thesaurus. I wrote "bullshit" 3 times in that short rant.
Can't even visit any of the hobby subs anymore without seeing radical political posts.
the amount of reeing in r/spacex when POTUS flew down to watch the Crew Dragon launch...
Shit, one of my favorite vidya subs made a long ranting post about "No Politics" then but "TL;DR BLM" at the end.
I just wanted to play vidya in peace. I really didn't want to have to deal with politics on those subs.
This sums up the last decade for me
Same as a Discord server for a puzzle game I had joined today. It was a long rant about being anti-hate and then ended with "Black Lives Matter." Thanks, but I'll play CPUs if it means I get to have less leftism pushed into my face.
I heard someone at communities.win recommend WE.WIN for an aggregate site. Though that's already taken it could probably be bought, and it would be powerful symbolism. The mod team seems to have so much potential in their hands at this moment. Previously the only real Reddit competitor was Voat but thedonald.win has already soared past them in traffic (since /r/the_donald was so big). If this kotakuinaction.win manages to truly replace the subreddit and they poach more popular subreddits (/r/WatchRedditDie, /r/Conspiracy, the dark humor subs etc.), it could be the biggest competition Reddit ever had.
Completely understandable; you were talking about Reddit.
Well, I think you could have used bullshit a bit more. I mean you typed Reddit, safespace, and political correctness instead of bullshit so I admire your restraint.
...I heard FatPeopleHate is trying to come back?
i certainly hope so. I dont hate fat people at all, but I do hate being censored from making jokes
I hate them. Not so much physically fat people, but fat people personality types who will fight at all cost in order to remain as lazy as possible.
#HealthyAtEverySize! Now that's broken logic.
I definitely hate fat personalties! Lena Dumhan can go suck a gay cock.
KIA is the first one outside of T_D but who knows how many are in private discussions.
This is the second one... first one was metacanada making omegacanada.win
Eh... it's canada... they don't count. XD
canada isn't real
It's like New Zealand or NeverNever Land or some shit.
Don't talk shit about America's Toque unless you want the Geese sicced on ya.
Listen to this guy. Geese are no joke.
Just wait til they start throwing maple leaves like ninja stars. Make fun of their maple syrup and you gon' recognize real quick that Canada don't play dat shit.
Most of the Kia2 folks are planning on coming over sooner than later. I'm not sure if they're going to keep their own blackjack and hookers with a kia2.win or rejoin the fold now that (hopefully) there's less excuse for the iron-fisted (and understandable) moderation and removals. I tend to hang out over there more since they're more active and a bit more general, but I'd love to see the band get back together again.
What exactly is the difference between the two? I ended up joining kia2 after the_donald quarantine and I didn't know about kia until recently.
Mostly just usual internet drama. Kia wanted to be way more restrictive about posts, made a poll to see how restrictive they should be, and then went against what the users voted for and got all restrictive anyways. Lots of users were unhappy and formed Kia2.
They're a lot less restrictive (and more active) so it's way more general culture-war stuff compared to Kia-prime which sticks largely to video games and things tangential to video games. The mods for the most part disagree on moderation and what Kia should be, so I expect we'll have two different .win sites as well.
I think both subs should work harmoniously as long as the mods allow freedom of speech.
There are no spez restrictions here. Rules are simple and are pretty much, no doxx and no US law breaking.
The mods said in td.win that they won't be choosing sides and implied that both subs get siphoned into kia.win.
https://consumeproduct.win/ was added today as well.
I know at least metacanada did so far.
metacanada is in here. http://omegacanada.win
That's it so far, but expect more incoming.
psst: fatpeoplehate has been registered under a .win domain...
There's a Canadian one too! More to come!! Welcome, all.
I’m guessing many others. We’ll see! Welcome to .win!
If you build it, they will come.
I'm hoping the gals at Gender Critical will. I've been over there explaining in the guy version how all censorship is bad. You can find common ground in one thing...freedom of speech.
They also taught me the meaning of the phrase "peak trans," which was great.
The one I miss is r/itsafetish . It used their own words and comments and painted a picture that was... well, less than pretty. And not sanitized thoroughly.
https://communities.win/ is the update list and to the right is the win list of wins.
The official list.
Check: communities.win
Those are the officials. They're shown in the right pane.
you literally just have to link them together and you have a reddit and 4chan competitor.
Is there any plan to bring the children of the diaspora under one site as subwins? Because that would eliminated the password problem. Win.win? All.win? Free.win? You.win? We.win? Everybody.win?
I've read that they're working on having you auto-login to other wins if you are logged in to one of them. That should fix the issue when they get it done.
That would be super fucking cool. I really care about issues like this. The access to platforms that normal people have, is really poor right now.
I even have a post out about trouble with Parler. I wish these issues had never come to us. I wish reddit hadn't died. I wish twitter hadn't been cancer.
Looks like maybe I'm adding Parler to that list of "I wish they hadn't".

Wonder if bestgunnit will be one...where else to get tendies and toes and meth?
Given that they closed up shop, I guess it's a matter of time.
If you build it, they will come.
I'm considering trying to do a skateboarding domain with more of the cool skate clips and less of the trying to get white skaters sacked by their sponsors. I would've never thought the culture wars would hit skating but luckily it hasn't affected my real life skate crew.
They appear to be gathering them into an "all" type site called Communities.win So far we have:
What else do you need? ?
