Parler was on AWS and they got booted off. Because of that, they collapsed. If they had two cloud deployments they could have survived. AWS will never go away, but they can make your small (or medium) size business go away pretty quick.
And just a side note, Parler was toxic and I shed no tears about their demise...
- iudqnolq 5y agoBut Parler's risk analysis should have included "we are unusually toxic so we may face unusual deplatforming". If a large number of normal companies are kicked of AWS someone will build a compat shim.
- SkipperCat 5y agoI think Parler drank so much of the kool-aid that they thought they were "true patriots and no true American would dare be de-platform their website". They're ideologues not pragmatists. Kara Swisher had a very interesting interview with their CEO, John Matze. Its a good listen. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/07/opinion/sway-kara-swisher-john-matze.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/07/opinion/sway-kara-swisher...
