tbh I see nothing wrong with a Russian DDoS protection.

The TDW people are Canadian. It's not just Canadian servers.

Because our country has been cucked forever. I never thought I see the day the USA would get cucked. Pisses me off they could fuck the greatest country ever to exist.

It’s not just this. It’s the way they ran this entire shitwagon from the start. They just thought they could float to the top off of AWS and everything would be cool. I’ve joined Gab because despite some hiccups they somewhat have their shit together and have their own stack. They’ve built their entire business from the ground up.

People seem to forget that Parler was hacked and every bit of information from IP addresses to cell numbers was leaked.

It only happened a month ago. lul wtf

I checked into that, it was fake, they just archived public posts however, I wouldn't trust Parler with my details because it is clear they have little clue and it is a super attractive target for hackers.

That was fake news. It wasn’t hacked. Remember, right after the 6th, when damn near every “news” story was bs & it was hard to tell what was real & what wasn’t? That’s when they shut Parler down & that story was put out there.

My issue with gab, aside from it barely working most of the time, is Andrew stated he only wants to work with Christians... fucking retarded. We are patriots of every faith and non faith

knewter 7 points ago +9 / -2

A man's entitled to his preferences, especially if he built the thing in question. I'm certain he likes Patriots of every faith, but the Christian Bible tells us not to be unequally yoked.

"We are Patriots of every faith and non faith and should be welcoming"

(But this guy doing what his faith says is fucking retarded)

That's called pretending to believe the thing you're saying, and it's usually the hallmark of a leftist (sorry to be the one to break it)

Gab added a ton of servers and it works fine for me now. In fact, it's pretty fast. Not sure about the Christian thing, agreed that would be retarded.

I'm certainly not a believer, but I'd rather be on Gab with the Christians than on Twitter with the commies.

It does bug me a little bit how the site is pretty overtly Christian, but if that's what it takes to get a free speech platform, that's fine by me.

The BLOCK button works just fine on Gab. Free speech. Quit whining.

1
MrVegan 1 point ago +2 / -1

Has nothing to do with the block button. The guy running it says he doesn’t want anyone’s business who isn’t Christian

2
RandoBudster 2 points ago +2 / -0

So that's his prerogative. He doesn't stop anyone posting who disagrees with him. He's not demanding you only do business with Christians. If you were Jewish and own a business I don't think you'd welcome Nazi money to grow it. Anybody's opinion you don't like=block. He won't suspended you like Twatter.

1
MrVegan 1 point ago +1 / -0

Why would I do business with someone who doesn’t want to do business with me? He’s talking about blocking by circling his wagons around his Christian beliefs... I want a social media platform like .win where the only thing that matter is the content of your character

3
RandoBudster 3 points ago +3 / -0

You have no idea who's approached him. He's been offered ton of money by big tech investors wanting in. He's knows their intentions and won't give up control. If that's blocking to you, fine. I think .win is great, I think gab is great. Not going to limit myself to 1 platform exclusively.

So Russia hoax is back on?

2
Magasane 2 points ago +3 / -1

Uh, the hoax was that Trump was working with Russia to further Russia's goals.

Russia is still a threat.

Also, Russia known for hackers, fraud, malware, pedophiles.

Yup. Gotta stop pretending the FBI and CIA are the good guys.

Why is this bad?

They need DDoS protection.

As a citizen, would you rather have your government in the middle or Russia?

What needs protection against Russia are legitimate state and technological secrets. Wtf do I care if Russia reads what i want to say, so long as i can actually fucking say it?

What other options are there outside of China having control? All the MS Azure data centers they recently ramped up in Africa are clearly tied to Belt Road.

Can some comrade give me a cogent argument explaining how the Russian government is any worse than our current incarnation of "government"?

1
mintscape 1 point ago +1 / -0

It's not, it's quite interesting talk to Russians about their government, Putin is very well liked.

It annoys me that the scummy elites tried to roll out the anti-Russian tactic that worked in the cold war to keep Americans quiet but what annoys me more is low information people fall for it.

China are a real problem, yet they were assisted and helped until Trump and Biden of course is trying to go back to appeasement like Clinton, Bush and Obama did.

I reminded of when Trump was asked about Russia and the evil stuff their government does, he replied "so do we".

Since when are we suppose to believe drug runners? aka CIA.

TDW (PW) uses CloudFlare right? Any server or service they use in the US is going to censor them out of existence, so I don't see where they have a choice.

Nothing in that screenshot supports the claim.

I trust Russia far more than these faggot American Cheaters and Frauds!

Russia was "proven" not guilty during the Prosperous and Glorious 2016 Donald Trump Administration, by United States Federal Authorities!

Fuck The Faggot Joe Biden!

2
Thep1mp 2 points ago +2 / -0

So they should use US based services just so they can get shut down on a whim? Who gives a shit if they are Russian? Our own government is the “bad guy” in this situation.

2
mintscape 2 points ago +2 / -0

I don't use Parler and I won't be signing up for it either but this shit about "muh Russia" is a stupid smear. Where are they meant to go? More and more tech companies will either be leaving the US or seeing the US as not a viable place to start a company.

Parler were clueless, using AWS, poorly written crap that couldn't even scale even when on AWS, that reason and the fact they want a phone number is a good reason to avoid them. They aren't linked to Russia, they just need to be hosted somewhere away from America and the reach of the Internet Stasi.
