He’s right that he probably would crash Parler or Gab. I think both of them were basically down for part of the day yesterday after news that Rush died.
If he built a static site, that’s one thing. But if he builds his own with comments sections and everything he’s going to have the same DoS problems that Gab and Parler now have during any big news events. It’s also going to become the holy grail for hackers as one of the most attacked sites in the world. He’d be better off building a site for publishing his own remarks that others can link to or discuss on other platforms. They’d be very little way for the communist Silicon Valley overlords to block it.
Parler doesn’t work. It won’t let me set up a new account. Every time I try, and new account set up screen just sits there and does nothing.
Look at what Don Jr. is doing on Telegram.
Perhaps Don Jr. is blazing a trail on Telegram that Dad could follow.
