How to host an unpopular forum:
1. Run your own server, because you've been pressured out existing sites.
2. Run your own data center, because you've been pressured out of existing data centers.
3. Run your own ISP, because that's the only way you can get connectivity.
4. Run your own payment processor, because you can't get a bank to serve you.
5. Run your own government, because you can't just start up your own bank.
6. ???
7. Profit? Wait, I think that started when you took control of the government.
If you run infrastructure, not a destination, then you should be a common carrier. Because freedom of speech is more than just the First Amendment. It's not just the government can't tell you what not to say (that's just the 1A). It's not just the ability to speak, but also the ability to be heard. Because for infrastructure, only loons would believe that you actually are responsible for the speech that you care across your lines.
