Crazy. I was sure they'd be able to find someone to host them. Nazi Germany anyone? Are you fucking awake yet?

These idiots are going to have to learn how to host their own hardware in a collocation. The cloud is just running your software on other people's hardware. There is nothing at all special about it.
How is that dependence on the cloud working out for you, Parler? That goes for all the others having problems now as well.
Just another part of the awakening, i guess. The cloud, along with most of big tech, was a really bad idea. Now people are seeing that for themselves.
As far as I know, they own and operate on their own infrastructure. They did this to keep their platform from falling like Parler. They don't have anyone to answer to, in turn, thats the reason they've been slow as of late. All the influx of new users who migrated from twitter has cause a slowdown on their website.
That is the one problem with running your own hardware in a collocation - no elasticity. You have to manually expand your infrastructure to meet increased demand. However, it is possible to do that relatively quickly if you know what you are doing...
any business - no matter what kind of business it is - if in anyway it has a perception of being conservative-oriented, pro-Trump oriented, will find themselves in the same situation as Parler if they are using the Big Tech cloud vendors for hosting
