Regardless of my/your thoughts on Parler, godspeed to those engineers. Assuming a majority of Parler infra is hosted on AWS, and it wasn't built to be multi-cloud, moving hosting providers in ~36 hours seems like a herculean task.

They knew what they signed up for. Maybe they didn't know that a coup would end up planned on their app in the public, but it was nakedly obvious to everyone that Parler was going to go the route of Gab or Voat. Those who didn't jump ship a long time ago decided that that wasn't a problem for them. Their bigger issue is going to be the fact that their resumes will be radioactive going forward. Reputation harm is actually a real thing; if Uber engineers struggled to get new jobs after all those bombshells years ago, these people's careers are probably de-facto over.

    Was expecting to see a clip of Dante and Randal climbing up the building of Leonardo Leonardo. Your clip makes more sense.

Aren't they all 10X programmers now that Trump gutted the various visa programs? Come on you lot! We stopped the immigrants so you should all have you CS PhDs now, right?

I’m sure Alibaba, Tencent or Yandex is ready with a turnkey lift and shift solution.

  I would be surprised to see Alibaba or Tencent host them. Are they known to host "extremist" content?

    The Parler user base is pro-Trump and anti-China, they wouldn't support those hosts. Reddit already gets a lot of flak from their users because Tencent is a major investor.

Or they could just change their product to require approval of all posts until they get their moderation under control, and then not get kicked off of Amazon...
