Amazon is cutting off Parler's servers

Unless the app can find an alternate host, it will go offline on Sunday.

Amazon has told Parler it will suspend the company’s AWS hosting services access, according to BuzzFeed News. The news comes on the same day that Apple suspended the social media app, which supporters of President Donald Trump and far-right extremists used to plan the January 6th riot at the US Capitol, and one day after Google similarly removed it from the Play Store. The suspension will go into effect on Sunday. Unless Parler can find a new host before then, it will go offline.

In an email obtained by BuzzFeed News, a member of the Amazon Web Services Trust and Safety team told the company it violated its terms and services, adding that Amazon is unconvinced Parler will be able to effectively moderate its platform relying only on a team of volunteers. We’ve reached out to Amazon for comment, and we’ll update this article when we hear back from the company.

“Over the past several weeks, we’ve reported 98 examples to Parler of posts that clearly encourage and incite violence… It’s clear that Parler does not have an effective process to comply with the AWS terms of service. It also seems that Parler is still trying to determine its position on content moderation,” the letter reads. “Because Parler cannot comply with our terms of service and poses a very real risk to public safety, we plan to suspend Parler’s account effective Sunday, January 10th, at 11:59PM PST.”

Parler CEO John Matze confirmed the suspension on Saturday evening. “Sunday (tomorrow) at midnight Amazon will be shutting off all of our servers…” he said in a post on the platform. “There is the possibility Parler will be unavailable on the internet for up to a week as we rebuild from scratch. We prepared for events like this by never relying on amazons [sic] proprietary infrastructure and building bare metal products.”

Without a host and no access to either the App Store or Google Play, it’s hard to see where Parler goes from here. Matze said Parler has “many” companies competing for its business. Whether that’s true or not, is somewhat beside the point. In many ways, the damage is already done. Wednesday’s riot left five people dead, many more injured and the event will likely cause lasting repercussions for months and years to come.

Amazon taking Parler off their web hosting

It took just 24 hours for all social media to ban the president and all individuals they deemed unit to have a voice on their platforms and to bring down a competitors platform.

A week ago this would have been called conspiracy theory

Gab Help & Info

For those not aware and especially those coming from Parler, there is no app for Gab, but you don't even need one. The dev team here stripped TENS of THOUSANDS of lines of code out of the Gab front-end last year to make it as lean and mean as possible and run smoothly via a simple mobile web browser. Gab has been designed specifically to run without an app or any dependance on the app store, and is battle hardened to withstand tyrannical deplatforming.

So I'll say it again. You don't need an app….

If you want to edit the notables, this would make sense:

>>39619, >>39625 Parler is built on shaky foundations: Amazon Servers - Diggz

becomes

>>39625, >>39669, >>39693 Amazon Web Services to drop Parler at 11:59PM PST Sunday

then there are these followups from the current bread:

>39707, >>39717

there's also >>39715 but it's basically a copy of >>39693 pb

many ways to do it, whatever you think best...

>>39723

i think that is an older board but i forget the story on it, ask nb, he might know. seems like i saw a post from 8bit on it, but this was before my time.

>>39733

whatever you wanna do is fine, i just put the posts in order and described what habbened

spooky description to me -

exactly the same time 8 was deplatformed

Sunday night at 11:59 pm PST

>>39742

>>39741

>>39723

tx for weighing in. just took a longer look. it's funky, not organized, full of junk threads. lotsa shitposting and shills, nobody's really looking after it closely afaik.

prolly has more activity bc it's wide open not bc somebody is promoting it. shills move into empty boards like homeless people move into empty lots…..

>>39749

>>39748

Yeah - probably some legal clause stating when and how miscreants are to be removed.

The CEO is saying they'll be back up soon. But as well know, that's not always as easy as it seems, but they may have more cash and influence than us small outfits. (but also less ingenuity)

>>39758

good question, doubt it. but i'll see what i can find out.

>>39755

>no one there

owner might be around - or not

they gotta come 'round at least every 2 wks to retain board

>>39757

Welcome Newfags thread -

thought of that last night, reminds me of baking class bred, kek.

could put a dough with resources for newer anons

also a good way to attract newfags

newbies are put off by the chans for 3 reasons

1. imageboards kind of different, hard to learn

2. no resource materials exist (i know - i went looking)

3. shilly anons who say lurq moar instead of helping

4. ugly pron/spam deters some

the anons getting deplatformed now are diggers. i'd love to support them getting up to speed.

frebe

>>39771

even possible to have a live class

"how to embed a YT vid" (if there's anybody left on yt that is)

ha-ha-ha….

>>39772

this board's slow but a little tricky

i often be digging at night and think board is moseying along

"plenty of time" - right?

and then somebody drops a bunch of diggs

or has a convo

and suddenly - boom!

it's at 180 and no notes since 100

often at night, baker doesn't post for hours

Is he here, asleep or gone?

If it's late, i'll put out baker request then rush around to get notes and set up a bake

Get back and it's 190 - now on the verge of dropping notes and baking.

A minute later, baker drops notes…..

Could on-duty bakerers at least say hi around 160 - 175? Mebbe post notes then for checking, with a final @190?

>>39774

>navvy instructions

yes, i saw - very noice

would be the first resource like this on 8

>>39776

happy to do a thread if Tom's ok with it

>>39779

semi-final @174 and final @190 good

>>39784

sometimes newer anons are best for helping, can remember what's confusing

i didn't even know how to screenshot anything when i came. couldn't ask - u know how it is. waited til some anon thanked me for getting sauce or something - then asked. He still laughed at me but helped anyway.

>>39785

meant @175 (it's approx anyway, depending on bred speed)

>>39719

do you ever put notes into word to get rid of double spacing? works well, good time-saver 4 me

I've been sheparding two lists

1. banned accounts

2. resource list (websites etc - it's in globals)

gonna update both later tonite

got any additions anyone?

post em with a little bold orred textand i'll pick em up for next 'editions'

>>39804

dat meme is hilarious

>>39808

saw there was some kinda baker coordination goin' on for pb but got a phone call and then was scrambling for sauce for that one notable

don't do much bakin right now, just diggin, except if there's nobody else. we got enough bakers.but sometimes in the middle of the night, can be a problem - same on /qr/, bakes get sloppy during gy with bakers gathering but not posting notables til the end. I baked quite a few dup breads that way on /qr/. The fact that breads do not have get auto cut off @200 means no dups, bakes just get a little late sometimes.

btw, isn't it nice to have someone around to lock breds or do other stuff most of the time? makes ya realize the advantages of having bread participants as bvs instead of having bv's never around when you need them.

>>39810

great job!

>>39825

nite.

>>39822

we often have four bakers here in the middle of the night - same 4.

pretty funny….

>>39827

oh i see

well then - wanna go for a ride?

>>39835

Haven't ridden for awhile but like it a lot.

>>39869

Still here, Tom?

NB asked about doing a thread with info for newfags, i said i'd be willing if that's ok by u.

>>39877

Sounds good.

>>39880

o7

working on it now.

>>39885

hello nb.

>make the thread

did you have an intro in mind?

>>39887

I understand. Was mainly liking the idea of some kind of friendly intro. Sounds like you've got something in mind. Great!

>>39889

Not sure what the placeholders would look like. Got an example?

For resources, would have stuff like how to

• get on the board

• post on the board

• reply to another poster

• add images

• add vids (yt, mp's, twitter vids)

• do basic formatting

• post an article dig

• post a twitter dig

(etc)

still brainstorming…..

would try to cover FAQs

>>39893

>twitter digg

should say 'twitter STYLE dig' - GAB, etc

should have some basic stuff to add by tomorrow, want to organize it a little, so more basic stuff is first

will u lock the thread when you finish? also, do u want feedback (alpha test) before 'going live'?

>>39895

who u talkin' to, bakes?

>best bakers

kekking…..

>>39897

why worry 'bout other board? we're good here.

U getting some rest?

>>39900

seems like basic info and a place to ask questions will do the trick.

>>39902

TOR - good one.

yeah - part of the 'what could go wrong?' section (kek)

• All things TOR - Tor posting, Tor address, etc.

• index vs catalog access

• board setup: main board, other boards

• using a text editor for posting

• intro to dough (4 sections)

• how to use qresear.ch

moar…..too late to finish now but plz list anything else that sounds good, here or in next thread

>>39903
