So what are Parler's options for a service that can handle that kind of traffic? We know Google is out of the question, and I doubt Microsoft will touch them.
But they can never push that update to iOS or Android, so the apps are dead forever.They are probably going to build their own servers and infrastructure. They are backed by Mercer money, and Mercer money is what helped Trump get elected in the first place. The only way to kill is to make Parler traffic unrouteable between upstream providers. That is a dangerous precedent to set, even right now when we all agree Parler needs to be shut down.
yes.But they can never push that update to iOS or Android, so the apps are dead forever.

Yeah no one really discovers new websites by entering an address anymore, exceptions are Dark Web Stuff obviously.
Donald Trump Permanently Suspended From Twitter News
The web host is 100% going to shut the account down. Trump is gonna have to move to fuckin 4chan to be seen.www.resetera.com
Donald Trump Permanently Suspended From Twitter News
Here's hoping Apple delivers a swift ban of the parler app.www.resetera.com
SecondNature Akira Told ya'll. There was 0 chance this wouldn't happen, tbh. Trump moving there actually doomed them.
He's like a plague-carrier, now. Wherever he goes, L's will follow.

Yes but most users, especially Parler are tech-illiterates.Maybe on iOS, but 2nd party apps stores are a thing on Android.
Cloudflare, they're hosed.
Cloudflare isn't a host. They're a cache/proxy
Very dumb, very very dumb.I'm confused. They say they didnt use any AWS infrastructure (S3, what have you), but it'll still take them a while to get back online? And that they'll have to start from scratch? I'm curious how dumb things are.
I'm well aware, but that's what the who-hosts search popped up, but on second thought it may of been a redirect.

My money is on Lawyers advice and threat of Dems.Good, I was afraid Amazon was going to be all tech bro libertarian about it and not boot them. I suppose that just leaves whoever hosts that sad the_donald website built after they were kicked from Reddit, and /r/conservative - which is basically just the new the_donald at this point.
They are also known to be free speech absolutist weirdos right? I know they got pressured off providing service to 8chan, but it's gonna be hard to get them to budge here I imagine.
No need. All that needs to happen is for Google to delist it, because:They are probably going to build their own servers and infrastructure.

I guarantee over 99% of its users will be SoL if they just can't find it on Google.
I mean the CEO said himself "as we rebuild from scratch" which I guess could mean as they setup the new hosting, but also something in the back of my brain says they don't have source control and aws pulling them means they're donezo, which would be fucking hilarious. Highly unlikely thoughTbh, the first tweet isn't really what's happening here, but will still take a while to get off the ground. It's not that it needs to be fully rebuilt, and depending on their foresight they may have migratable databases backed up. They'll mostly need to look at re-provisioning everything for a different service which is still a far from trivial task.
Agreed, there's an infinitesimally small chance that the website isn't fucked.No need. All that needs to happen is for Google to delist it, because:

I worry about the same thing, but at the same time: how much worse could it be? Like, all the hand-wringing and kid gloves and meeting halfway and refusing to ruffle feathers that we spent the whole Obama administration doing over these people just resulted in Trump winning in 2016.The last corner is TheDonald. I thought I saw something about them being threatened with shut down to, but I dont know for sure whats going on with that. Nonetheless, the right wing framing this as a freedom of speech issue is a narrative that they will dominate, and one that groups like Centrists will side with. The framing of this as liberal extremism and big tech oppression is how this will be pursued and more democrats and left wingers need to push back on it
I guess all these moves from tech companies are ultimately good, but it's depressing to think that if Trump had won none if it would have happened.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.
I'm curious how they are on AWS but "don't use any AWS infrastructure ".
When that time comes, I'm going to make an account and pretend I'm the Assistant to the Department of Justice, and guaranteed nobody will be arrested as long as they give me all of their contact information, and it must be accurate in order for them to be fully absolved of any crimes, pinky swear!

They can turn it into a browser based forum like here. Pretty much their only choice.
That website already chugs a lot as it is apparently. Any more traffic would surely slow it to an unusable crawl
