Parler is back up. Woohoo!

[wonkeytonk]

They're facing a few technical login/sign up difficulties, but they've found a host.
I should log in on Goldleaf on my Switch!

Or my good ol' vita when I figure out how to use that stupid SSL Enso plugin

Fascists' on their way to tell you why that's a bad thing...

 

[Seliph]

As a self-identified Fascist, I think this is a bad thing because parler is stinky and dumb and also this is literally 1984 oh my god?

When obviously the opposite side could just as much accuse leftists of creating 1894.

I guarantee its just an fbi honeypot

 

[FAST6191]

No objection a less censorious platform existing, however I would rather a proper hardened p2p one being it and not having to cater to the whims of tech companies that think they know better.

They never heard about IPFS?

This?
I've never actually seen this before until recently: this is the second time I've seen it pop up.
What exactly is it? Torrenting but with websites? I don't quite understand it.

De-centralized internet more or less. I've tested it a bit, and it works quite well.

Cool, I'll check it out. Cheers for the info.

Cloudflare supports it :3

LoL, is tRUMP on it?

Is it opposite day already?

A new Parler would also have to deal with setting up Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection. Major DDoS companies such as Cloudflare have no interest in protecting Parler. Still, DDoS protection for controversial sites is essential. Cloudflare dumping 8chan was a major reason why the site almost went under. Today, VanwaTech-based sites rely on DDoS-Guard, a Russian DDoS protection company.

It's like the conservative trash have never heard of a Discord server.

And then bank on everyone in there being protected by untracable VPN chains they bought for 1.5 USD a month, while not having any of the propagation possibilities of social media networks?

Parler is PR - not a backchannel.

*Making time in three months to explain to everyone again, that Facebook (Instagram) is an advertising/PR company.*

It supports IPFS... read my messages before it

 

[Hells Malice]

Retards were always going to congregate, might as well know where they all are.

Sorry, I only look at public posturing.

If IPFS is peer to peer what prevents blocking of IP ranges? With Parler you are not talking about a 'document file' you are talking about a database so traffic heavy - people are laughing at it, because it really is a stepchild of Amazon Cloud Hosting - to have made any sense, economics wise.

The idea that this could become a lean distributed network that hops nodes and serves the same purpose is - phantasy. (At least there is no proof of concept I'm aware of.)

So again - is it opposite day already?
