This of course brings up the highly controversial issue of whether you should optimize your architecture for multicloud or go all-in on one provider.
Edit: I would recommend Corey Quinn's thread for more background, but tl;dr it's hard to get kicked off AWS and it's not happening due to political slant

- bra-ket 6y agoI think the best plan of action is creating a new decentralized free speech platform, as resilient as a cockroach, blockchain or scihub. I’ve sent a message to sama & pg asking to add this to the YC list of ‘requests for startups’. I hope they hear. For those lurking, this is a tremendous opportunity and real need as you have half the country desperate to let their voice be heard while being aggressively silenced and de-platformed for political reasons.
- baskire 6y agoI have to agree. Much like the internet created social media. The blockchain and decentralized web will have its own popular publishing platform
- lumpenprole 6y agoYes! They could get Peter Thiel back on board. It would be like old times.
- bra-ket 6y agoI think any true libertarian would support a new decentralized free speech platform (as resilient as a cockroach, blockchain or scihub). btw does anyone know what happened to Diaspora project, is it still alive
- lumpenprole 6y agoThere must be some way to combine a truly decentralized free speech platform with an opportunity for clean young boys to sell their blood to the highest bidder without the nanny state interfering. FLAGGED? WHAT ABOUT MUH FREEDOMS?

- jaredsohn 6y agoParler should have known this was a risk going in. Being able to switch cloud providers is important if there is potential for controversy for your service.
- mullingitover 6y agoFrom what Corey Quinn is saying, they have to be doing something really, really bad to get kicked off AWS, and no other host would abide it. Self-hosting wouldn't help them either, since their ISP could just yank the plug for the same reasons. For reference, AWS hosts The National Enquirer, which threatened to leak, er, extremely sensitive photos of Jeff Bezos.

- dmourati 6y agoNot really. There is a difference between multicloud and cloud agnostic.
- mesozoic 6y agoAt this point you should definitely go multicloud and I will have to present that point to my company or I would be derelict in duties.
