The incompetence is really astounding, politics aside.

If they were behind Cloudflare or another DDoS protection website, you wouldn't even be able to tell they were an AWS customer at all.

That coupled with their multi-million dollar monthly infrastructure bill and I'm scratching my head. The site seems like it was built by outsourced lowest bidder contractors and they scaled by throwing blank checks at the problem.

This is non-sensical. AWS certainly knew they were a customer, and they were the ones that kicked them off. Plus, Cloudflare has deplatformed other customers before, don't think they would have wanted to touch Parler either.


Cloudflare fronts gab without issues afaik. I agree with parent comment that if they didn’t parade it so much they could get away with it


And the .win sites. But those seem to have taken their warning to moderate seriously
