You definitely can still get suspended, no matter where you are or how you’re hosting, depending on how edgy you are and how much attention it gets.

If you live in a country with strong free speech rights such as the US, not really.

  Domain registrars go so far as to drop clients. See the DailyStormer as an example. You could host via IP only and then control a separate, static domain that has your most recent IP. Not sure ISPs are allowed to drop customers for edgy chat. I would hope they are seen as a utility in that instance.

    For anything controversial, getting dropped by Cloudflare is a bunch larger concern than getting dropped by your registrar. You'll be DDOSed offline immediately and there's no Cloudflare.ag alternative to turn to. Just look at what happened to the scumbags at Kiwi Farms.

      KF came back eventually. It took a bit of work on their part, but then you are unlikely to face as much pressure as they did. They even kept their original domain name, so any bookmarks or in-bound links work as they did before after a month long vacation.

      That website never went down for more than, like, a day (and remained on Tor even then). It weathered that storm and remains online on its original domain.

> depending on how edgy you are I was talking about Facebook's dreaded 'Community Standards' here, to be specific. I've had content censored that I acquired from Facebook itself, and the original post where I got it from wasn't taken down from Facebook. Such hypocrisy. I've done this enough times that Facebook threatened to permaban me from their platform. So I run my little corner of the net where I can post what I want (within reason). By 'Edgy meme' I mean something that a behemoth like Facebook deems censorable.
