am just imagining this frenzied attempt to copy all the data out of the s3 buckets and dump the databases
uspol, parler
"hi this is my first post does anyone know how to deploy a cloudformation template on a dell"
uspol, parler
"uh, how many 1tb external drives do we need to hold *checks notes* 1.21 petabytes of s3 data? we'll send someone to the micro center"

hey maybe the parler admin email they use to register at some other hosting provider is hosted on aws and they forgot about it...
uspol, parler
"is there a one click migration tool for moving from aws to oracle cloud...? please dm"
uspol, parler
"if aws can kick parler off they can kick you off too"
yes, you have successfully identified one of the risks of relying on a third party for literally anything, i don't think this is the hot take you think it is...
if a vendor is _critical_ to your operations, you should probably work pretty hard to maintain that relationship
and sometimes, that means not assisting in attempts to overthrow the government...

lol twilio too
so, what, no sms or phone notifications or validations?
womp womp

...i think republicans think that parler is twitter-compatible or something?
that's the only reason i can think of that would cause them to be confused by losing followers after telling people to move to parler
uspol, parler
now it sounds like trump supporters are threatening to attack aws datacenters over on parler
"hello? delta airlines? i would like one ticket to... um... 'us-east-1a' please"
uspol, parler
the parler "hack":
request post #1, get post #1
request post #1, get post #2
request post #3, get post #3
request post #4....
and so on

i think amazon's lawyers will eat this one up
section 6 gives free reign to temporarily suspend anyone, apparently indefinitely and without notice
and then section 7 says they can terminate after 30 days
uspol, parler
lol they forgot to serve amazon
"As noted above, Defendant AWS has apparently not been served either with the Complaint or the instant motion."

@twitter Top toots sir. A+++ would spit out tea laughing again.
re: uspol, parler
google one way airfare SEA to AWS

@djsundog "i'm feeling lucky"
uspol, parler
@twitter I get the impression they are good at interneting, surely they can hack into AWS and overheat the --
wait, didn't the feds say that cyberattacks like that would be met with a direct military responses?
uspol, parler
@neltnerb just inject these headlines into my arm please
uspol, parler
@twitter of course on hacker news people are complaining that "payment processors should be a utility" and I'm like... no shit, people who buy legal cannabis have had to deal with this for decades... no, they are not a utility...
sigh
uspol, parler
@twitter apparently nobody else wants to host them either
re: uspol, parler
@twitter They just scraped the site like an airport snowplow scrapes a runway.
re: uspol, parler
@twitter to be fair, the right wing is extremely well versed in self-serving and not many other forms.
uspol, parler
@twitter what a wild bloody ride
re: uspol, parler
@twitter unfortunately for them, Amazon takes a lot of time and effort to hide the actual locations of their datacenters
uspol, parler
@twitter I think some of it is all the Nazi bots and virulent racist assholes finally getting banned by twitter... That and they expected most of their followers to just quit twitter, not close the accounts, so between the bots and the account closures, they think they're getting shadowbanned. Or something similar. Screaming on national television they can't communicate with their base anymore. Because heaven knows the sociopath with a private jet can't afford a TV and cable...

@twitter @rysiek "if AWS can enforce their acceptable use policy on Parler after repeated warnings, then if you egregiously violate their TOS, they could enforce it on you too". Yes, this is how policies function
Not seeing the problem here, beyond concentration of resources in near-monopolies is not good for the Internet, which we already knew
uspol, parler
maybe try ibm?
