"It could be never," he said. "We don't know yet."..."It's hard to keep track of how many people are telling us that we can no longer do business with them," said Matze...Matze said Parler had also been booted from online payments service Stripe and from American Express and had lost its Scylla Enterprise database. Parler could not send SMS messages after being banned by Twilio and could not use Slack to contact its "jury" of paid and volunteer users who make Parler content moderation decisions...

If Parler’s dead. Another one will rise in its place. If you fo, get your own servers like Gab.

Wow. Unreal how big tech is really trying to hold things back. It’s not a monopoly but they are working together to keep themselves in control. Need a few more places that create there own like Gab. Was going to sign up today but running really slow.

"How about email. It works great in my work environment."

Yeah, I don't understand many of the Internet users who've come online since the '90s. They don't like e-mail.

Even back then, feminists and lawyers starting to use the Internet were befuddled by e-mail list servers and kept posting to the list instead of the list server command interfaces to unsubscribe.

I can think of one problem with using e-mail lists now, though--lack of anonymity. Unless there would be a way to stop subscribers from seeing e-mail addresses of other participants.

"The Right need their own mega cloud service provider."

Why? Monster arrays of drives (for RAID or whatever) are hella cheaper than before.

They just never believed that Amazon Web Services, the giant, would cut them off.

What a disgusting, misleading headline. Do they ever describe Twitter as a platform favored by “unhinged BLM and Antifa types,” which is true?

Pushing a narrative. They can’t very well describe it as a free speech platform because then Twitter becomes not free speech. Right wing is not negative enough, so what’s left.

It’s not the servers it’s the financial side that blew up

If this is the world we live in where a company can be black listed, we now live in a communist state.

Right, formerly banned. As in they had previously been careless just like Parler. Now it is Parler’s turn to build something safer.

Many smaller outfits might be a way to go. They could share news with each other. That would also offer various policies to choose from (e.g., moderation). I, for one, have no tolerance remaining for the conspiracy theories and calls to quit.

The head of Gab - Andrew Torba - was on Steve Bannon's War Room today. Good stuff if you get the chance for a listen.

Gab has a new browser called Dissenter.

They’ve done more to Parler then just ban use of servers. They had banks dump them, insurance companies, email companies.

“Biden did not legitimately win the election”

I suppose he did in that “legitimately” means according to some law.

But based on evidence presented to us, I believe Biden didn’t get all of the votes that were recorded for him.

A totalitarian FCC can and will likely immediately disembowel alive, all freedom, liberty, traditional values, and Christian speech — and if and when it gets that far, SCOTUS will applaud.

Pence was the ultimate US Constitution and America kill switch, and demonic trojan.

Just wow...!

The group of retired Generals and Officers who were begging for Trump to declare “Limited Martial Law”, defined by executive writ as forcing total security of all ballots, envelopes, and voting machines, forcing new National Guard validation of all ballots in sceduled second emergency elections in at least 9 states, *while the POTUS temporarily turned those specific powers over to the military during the new election, was THE ONLY WAY to correct what otherwise was the termination of US representative government.

Many still don’t know it yet, but we have just lost the last critical exercise of citizen representative government.

Consolidation and insulation of hard leftist totalitarianiam power, and ALL future elections will be nothing more than Soviet style show elections.

So yes, after a dozen failed attempts to even get an evidence based hearing, at any judicial level, the POTUS really should have decided on a different route.

Terminal mistake, not just for Trump, but for representative/parliamentary governance.

This may well prove to be the greatest consequential and terminal pivot back toward sovereign totalitarianiam government, since the momentus pivot toward representative government, which gained decisive momentum in the year 1517.

And the left wing gestapo state is off to a lightning speed start.

Injustice will now be our indefinite future.

It’s not pessimism, it reality.

Free Republic is my social media. But if I was going to add something, it would probably be Gab. They already have built their own infra structure. They now have an alternative for you tube. They are working on their own smart phone.

Their CEO/owner is a Christian and believes in free speech. The moderators are not centralized, each group mostly does their own moderation.

Parler is authorized dissent. People will waste attention and effort there.
