Something interesting here is that not only the Parler app was pulled... the _entire_ parlor.com domain and website registration is non-existent at the moment.

- 6sup6 6y agoCan you offer some hypothesis that explain what happened?
- shrimpx 6y agoThey were likely running everything on aws including dns.
- _nickwhite 6y agoThey were running all of their websites through AWS, but didn't use AWS as the registrar.
- _nickwhite 6y agoDreamhost is/was their domain name registrar- and even though Dreamhost didn't host Parler's services, they were taking massive heat on Twitter over it. So I guess at some point, Dreamhost as a registrar silently deleted them. Now, even if Parler wanted to move somewhere, they would have to regain control of their domain from Dreamhost.
