You seem to be implying that somehow it’s Parler’s fault that they couldn’t move their code and get them up and running in 48 hrs because of “poor code”. (It’s akin to blaming a woman for getting molested because she was wearing a short skirt).

It’s not easy to move a whole infrastructure, storage, servers, two-factor-authentication service providers etc in the best of times eg to create a fully functional hot back-up disaster recovery setup requires months though with providers like AWS, a lot of it is turnkey - which is why they are so popular.

Incidentally Gab had the same issue years ago when they were nearly erased. They apparently learnt from that and built a more robust big-tech proof infrastructure. Though as per latest rumor they may also be under threat of getting their domain name deregistered with ICANN in which case you’d have to find them via direct IP.

I read it the same way.

My goodness. Good effort trying to score a quick point there. But that’s a poor analogy. And you misread what I was implying.

I agree that it was not surmountable to smoothly transition in two days.
