Amazon Is Booting Parler Off Of Its Web Hosting Service
- Thread starter Daria
- Start date
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 Parler is to make its 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.
But they can never push that update to iOS or Android, so the apps are dead forever.
They can turn it into a browser based forum like here. Pretty much their only choice.
Yeah no one really discovers new websites by entering an address anymore, exceptions are Dark Web Stuff obviously.

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

Here's hoping Apple delivers a swift ban of the parler app.
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.
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
Maybe on iOS, but 2nd party app stores are a thing on Android.
Yes but most users, especially Parler are tech-illiterates.

Very dumb, very very dumb.
I'm well aware, but that's what the who-hosts search popped up, but on second thought it may of been a redirect.
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.
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!
Tbh, 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.
I'm curious how they are on AWS but "don't use any AWS infrastructure ". You can't run a dynamic website or app purely out of S3. S3 would be for static files. There has to be a database somewhere and APIs between the site/app and the database. Much less whatever they are using for authentication.
If their devs are as bad as everyone is saying, they probably followed various tutorials online for AWS which means they are actually VERY heavily tied to AWS and using multiple AWS services, which will make the migration to any other provider much more difficult, if not near impossible.

No need. All that needs to happen is for Google to delist it, because:
I guarantee over 99% of its users will be SoL if they just can't find it on Google.
They'll just movr to shitty russian servers like 8chan or Daily Stormer did. I cant imagine traffic on parlor being high.
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 though
"We prepared for events like this!"
A few lines above:
"Have to rebuild from scratch. Might take up to a week."
Agreed, there's an infinitesimally small chance that the website isn't fucked.
I believe DuckDuckGo does not filter but grandma has never heard of it.
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.
And, frankly, I don't want the government getting involved and repealing section 230. I'm happy to let big tech follow the example of Hollywood with the MPAA and video games with the ESRB and clean their own house before politicians get too gung-ho about getting involved.
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.
They're just running EC2 servers, but not using native tools like S3 or Lambdas.
A costly way of doing things but it works for a lift and shift model.
I took this quote as they have to rebuilt the servers from scratch, but the code can be deployed afterwards.
They sure as hell aren't rewriting their entire solution in one week.
Well, of course they aren't rebuilding everything completely "from scratch", but it's what they said in the official communication in the screenshot from Parler so that's why she's saying that. Also, they wouldn't say something like this if the migration work wasn't colossal. It sounds like they need to completely rebuild their backend or something. And add to that all the different rumors about their backend currently being a complete mess... It looks like there's a lot of work ahead of them.
This is why I think the purging of Trump and others + Parler being made irrelevant is going to stifle the Q and MAGA movements move then people yet realize. It was the CONVENIENCE of having easy to access and spread right-wing conspiracy shit to people who didn't know how to look for it like in decades past that allowed them to fester and grow up to this point.
That is GONE now. MAGA Grandma and Q Uncle are gonna have to actively search for this shit now, and the vast majority of them can barely use the internet/a smartphone as it is.
That website already chugs a lot as it is apparently. Any more traffic would surely slow it to an unusable crawl
