It looks like tildes.net found out about themotte.

They seem to mostly have negative takes, but that's not terribly surprising.

Edit: I don't know that this in particular is terribly important, but it's good to see that there's some small amount of discovery going on across the internet, in the interest of keeping themotte alive and well. I found this by searching for "themotte" on reddit.

A while back I had the idea of making a big post here about all of the political forums. I was just going to find all the active ones, discuss their strengths/weaknesses, and note what topics they talk about and whether they bring any new information to the table. I quickly ran into one problem: there are thousands of active political forums across thousands of websites. Did you know, for instance, that the “DC Urban Moms” forum has a political section with 2,035,933 messages?

Well, that's DC, a city built around politics. But yes, practically every forum has a political corner.
