I think RED2 is playing out right before our eyes.

Think about this. Once they shutdown Parler, they will go for Gab, and every other platform like it. If Amazon can do this other tech companies will follow. This is nuts. I wouldn’t believe this would be happening if you told me this 6 months ago.
Yeah damn good point. Just look at the Nashville bombing. One guy in a trailer allegedly?
gab is off their crap, its their own servers..
Yeah. I know TDW uses CloudFlare so I am wondering if they are going to do the same thing or be bullied into doing it.
CloudFlare is a proxy / firewall / loadbalancer that can be changed easily, for a website, depends more on where are the server located physically (not every country has the same law), and even so, you could have 15 replicas around the globe and they can keep taking them down but with 0 disservice for you cause you have a pool of frontends ( like straming / downloading / piracy websites do ), same could be done for name servers / dns polling them, biggest problem is the domain registrar, that can bother you quite a lot cause you may end up having to change the domain every week or even less, for an app like Parler is different, costs are much higher and data volume to, so either you are ready for this and you take in consideration everything from the first and you have different or multiple hot sites, otherwise you'll find yourself having an entire infrastructure to rebuild and terabyte of data to move across the country / globe in a bunch of hours ( if you are lucky and they just don't size/shutoff the servers ), and that's a pure hell, so, hope and i think the dudes have a BCRP around
As a person who has software development and system admin experience, this sounds like an absolute nightmare situation.
The wins are going down first. Gab will be a bit harder.
plus they are doing exactly what their masters are telling them to do.
Suggestions on where to go?
8kun and gab, then I would probably look to non native english boards or ones somewhere foreign friendly. You think they've got enough clout to shut down 2ch in Japan in a hurried panic?
This is what project Odin was planned for. Trump already created his own social media platform a year and a half ago. They've been waiting for this scenario to launch it. I can't imagine the chaos it's going to be with pedes, autists and boomers all under one roof but it's gonna be wild.
Dammit! I should've wrote my whitepaper on how we could create decentralized text and image forums using blockchain and torrent technology.. ARGH..
jk.. pretty sure we'll all find each other shortly after this goes down..
And you won’t believe what the next 6 months will bring it Trump doesn’t stop them
This right here.
If an update comes out for your mobile phone, do NOT update. Seeing chatter that they may be issuing an update to not give EAS messages from POTUS.
These people are destroying themselves. Did not the FCC just issue a warning a few days ago that EAS must be honored? Paraphrased.
Yeah this too. No updates not even apps. Turn all form of automatic updates off!
TURN OFF AUTO UPDATE IF YOU HAVE IT ON!!
Gab has their own servers, upscaling as fast as they can.
Awesome! I am really happy to hear that.

need to find some off shore server hosting that might be immune to the US BigTech reach but will probably end up requiring users to start using VPN to connect to those sites
