The message suggests Parler was able to find another hosting service, coming about a week after Amazon Web Services booted the social media website from its services, taking the site down. It came as Parler—billed as a “free speech” platform—was seeing an unprecedented surge in users as prominent conservatives, among others, were being banned from Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms.

Looks good. Any step is a good step. Hopefully they can resolve their issues and come back.

Parler’s website is NOT “back online”. There is a placeholder saying they will be back. Saying they are back online is like saying a restaurant is “back open” the day after it burned down because they put a sign on the burnt out building saying “we’ll be back”.

Meanwhile, Gab appears to have added enough capacity to operate normally.

More than likely the app is programmed with a default gateway that is no longer associated with the domain name. Parler will have to make available a re-programmed app that points to the new address.

Note to parler: Don’t announce your back online until AFTER the successful load test.

I tried to post this message from Parler.com on Facebook and Facebook immediately called it fake news and grayed it out.

Dan Bongino owns stock in Parler and I read that he said somehow, someway, they’re coming back.

Personally, I like the interface and layout of Gab better though I have an account at both websites.
