As long as there is a free market there will be someone willing to host. The only thing that could shut it all down is china style censorship from the federal government, which of course would be a complete violation of the 1st ammendment. If that ever happens, storming the capitol will look like a girl scout meeting.
This isn’t true at all, business continuity for this site would be almost impossible to implement in this way. There are so many points of failure.
For starters, td.win needs DDoS protection, and there’s only a few companies in the world capable of providing it.
Companies like Google and Apple also control whether td.win’s TLS certificate works at all. Heck, they even control whether web browsers will allow this page to load.
ISPs control whether users are allowed to access it at all.
If the admins want to set up all their own infrastructure, that’ll require a lot of money. I’d bet they’d find people willing to pay it, but guess who controls whether you’re allowed to take payments?
There’s also only a few companies that make the hardware required. So what are you gonna do if they don’t sell it to you?
If you’ve ever heard the quote “If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe”, well if you want to create td.win from scratch you must first create your own internet, banking system, and the entire hardware stack from top to bottom.
This is a good thing. The more of us they purge the more we will be forced to use alt tech. Just like reddit purging t_d was a blessing in disguise.
Yes but how long will they let this space and others like it exist I wonder?
