I'm not a computer person does this mean they have to find a host overseas like 4chan did? Which caused it to crash instantly with the load?

Hnnnnggggggghhhhh. What a week it's been. Holy shit. It only took, idk, a domestic terrorist attack on our government after 4 years of undermining this nation by creating an underground conspiracy theory that you have to be fucking stupid to believe in and luckily for us we've got way more stupid people than anything else.

Kind of. If they really want to become mainstream, there are not many hosts that can handle the traffic, and no one of that size in USA will touch them. Maybe someone in China will lmao.

Murdoch and Fox News has to be secretly loving this shit.

All these platforms and alternative ways to get your propaganda fix that Fox was having to compete with just getting zapped.

Weird, I thought capitalists were supposed to side with fascists? Well, anyway... What's to prevent some pro-Trump millionaire from building an independent platform? There's got to be someone like that out there, with the means and the money.

So where does Trump go next?

Just go so full mask off he's basically peeling back his skin and hit up GAB?

This will also completely fuck the apps installed on phones, correct?

Depends how it's programmed, right? Does the app resolve an IP or does it resolve a host name? Parler has reports of being poorly crafted so it could be the former, in which case, those apps are fucked.

Ah nice double whammy of them having to turn to some second rate hosting infrastructure and not being able to update their apps. So you've got a bunch of fash on potentially insecure apps that will probably end up being hosted on a few rickety old servers in someone's garage. If any person with the technical ability wanted to try to find and exploit some vulnerabilities or fuck with them in any way, all I'm saying is that now would be a good time.

It will happen eventually but the heat is too much for corporate types right now.

I don't understand, why wait? Why not suspend it now? I hope the extra day allows the FBI to hunt down these people, otherwise keeping it up is grossly irresponsible.
