It's the new Twitter for them...they all went there in the last few days Leghorn21 Jun 2020 #2

People tell me it's where their circle jerk meet-ups are planned. TheBlackAdder Jun 2020 #3

Devin and Cruz are there, among the other losers

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
