With Parler out for 24 hours, some people are wondering if they've given up.

As a web developer, I can tell you they definitely HAVEN'T given up.

They probably have 20 or 30 of the smartest guys in the country who have been working literally nonstop since AWS booted them fixing the problem.

Speaking as a developer, the problem they're having is probably not finding another host (you can get hosted on countless Russian, Ukranian, etc hosts with nothing but a credit card), it's fixing their dev-ops to work with something other than AWS.

In other words, they are working INSANELY hard right now to reoutfit their site to work on something other than AWS as quickly as possible. Doing something like that in 24-48 hours would be an untold feat of programming godlikeness.

They will be working 24/7 until they fix it, and it will be fixed.

Hold the line.

Note: I have no inside information on Parler but I know hosting and a bit about AWS.

Note 2: I have been informed by the comments that Parler has serious problems other than being deplatformed. They'll still be back though.

Christ I hope not, people need someone new or just start using Gab. Look what they did with the personally identifiable information of all of the Trump supporters who used their platform. They allowed it to get hacked and spread everywhere. They were recklessly retarded.

What about the security and privacy issues that people keep bringing up?

Firstly, LOVE the username ||-//

Secondly they lost control of how much of our information? Not sure I trust them anymore.

Hopefully they will realize they will have to host Parler themselves.
