"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...

The price they’re paying for doing business with the enemy.

I hope Parler comes back. I hope they are more independent.

But Parler learned and taught an important lesson to everyone who’s a conservative and in business.

We will have a Conservative economy, a Conservative market as a result of this.

Are they using a server farm? Because that worries the heck outta me. I’m afraid the left will go after those.

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

Literally their entire service and supply chain abandoned them all at the same time. They never saw this coming. Unlike Gab, unlike Infowars, and unlike the Freerepublic they didn’t build from the ground up for maximum independence from external suppliers.

Parler had been getting valuations in the $500 million range, and up.

Just imagine what the silicon valley cabal will do to smaller firms and individuals.

If he can’t do the same then Parler deserve to go away, he’s too dumb to run what is needed.

Let me find a link, but no Android. Does use Linux. It is Gab's browser. Dissenter Browser

Most companies use slack. Email is too slow and not good for collaborating (no channels, groups, file and code sharing or markup capabilities) it is now owned by Salesforce, an Indian-dominated company, moving a bulk of its operations to India.

Problem with Gab, no micro-service support (like AWS, GCP and Azure has) it’s a lot more than mere web hosting.

It takes a good decade to build up these services and servers.

Free Republic is my social media.

For politics and news, yes.

Not appropriate for anything else. And most of us have lives outside of FR.

Parler could do the same, but it would be steep, uphill climb.
