How do you know he’s not already signed up anonymously?

Unless FR is responsible for their own servers, it won’t last a minute once Trump comes here.

FR has always set up their own hardware and colocated it.

[SkyDancer]

Wasn’t FR denied service awhile back? I think that FR is self standing - some internet provider could block it though(?).

FR was given short notice to move out of a hosting center. But that was because the center was closing suddenly. FR was not targeted.

[Kevmo]

Maybe he is. He would probably be allowed by Jimrob to open a second account, out in the open.

FR would instantly be overwhelmed, so we would have to step up to help Jimrob.

We would have millions of followers in a few short weeks.

[EEGator]

That was sort of my point.
Even before this deplatforming became big, FR had to switch.

So only your internet provider or browser can deny them? Explorer at one time blocked them and FF called them some sort of virus site and blocked them.

[BipolarBob]

We need a Dark Web address to go to if FR is de-platformed. I can’t find anything about the Dark Web. No directories. nuthin’. Even Google won’t take me there.

[EEGator]

I disagree. I don’t think FR will get deplatformed, and I also like that we discuss ideas here without “a leader or hierarchy”.(I know it’s Jim’s site)
FR doesn’t need structure like that. That’s what freedom is in ideas.

[frog in a pot]

To get Free Republic wiped..............you know like with a cloth.

Exactly. In any event, it is Jim's decision and if he chooses, he cold extend on behalf of us all a formal invitation.

Of course, all here can send President Trump a message at the WH, as many of us have, to express our appreciation and gratitude for his contribution to our nation. His continuing efforts, made in the face of never before seen political resistance and betrayal is of historical proportions.

[A Navy Vet]

"What company hosts FR servers?"

FR has its own servers and own internal hardware/software technician. However, not sure about its ISP nor how vulnerable and political it might be. Others here know the specifics. I used to know how to look all that up, but forgot.

I'm not sure having Trump be an active participant would be wise. He would probably do best at Gab.com. - a Twitter alternative.

[frog in a pot]

You have the right idea! The jackass and elephant are now obsolete. The new party ought to adopt the tiger.

[SamAdams76]

JimRob would need to order another 10,000 servers if that happened.

[gdc61]

we’ve had celebrity posters here before. They got slammed and attacked by some idiots and either went incognito or just left. ie; Shawn Hannity

[Kevmo]

Trump still has big bux. And 75 million followers. Jimrob would be in the highest echelons of conservative activism if this happened. He can handle it.

[dhs12345]

It will eventually happen. Don’t fool yourself.

[RandallFlagg]

Tony Snow
John Lott
Steven Crowder
Alfonzo Rachel
Just off of memory. There was probably more.

[mass55th]

The servers couldn’t handle it.
