Even though I won't miss Parler, this sentence right here:

We’re going to try our best to get back online as quickly as possible. But we’re having a lot of trouble because every vendor we talk to says they won’t work with us. Because if Apple doesn’t approve and Google doesn’t approve, they won’t.

Is either alarming or idiotic. You can't tell me there's literally no small hosting company or right-wing lawyer out there who'd take you? That's what you get for putting all your eggs in one basket (or all your content on one hoster's servers).

Their dataset and traffic are massive. I doubt many small hosts can handle them.

Then they should either reduce their dataset and traffic or find a medium sized host. Or use multiple hosts and build a CDN themselves. It's technically possible, they just don't seem to have the expertise or the money, because smaller hosts may take more money for such a big deployment.

How is gab.com hosting then? Maybe they should talk to their provider?

Epikkk do a lot of the right-wing hosting, they will probably end up hosting Parler
