the domain registrar removed them

I didn't know that was a thing.

Yeah... I read a bit about that... The evidence is NOT strong that he is a "confirmed non-MAGA supporter"

There have been more of these claims that turned out to be completely false.

It is true that he has definitely protested against Police Violence - but as you noted earlier... you are no fan of the Police and certainly not police violence.

In fact, the majority of the people in this group are Pro Trump but Anti Cop.

the website or domain registrars?

That domain registrars could do that.

oh yeah

thats why the whole 'build your own twitter' shit is ridiculous

it happened with gab

they will attack the advertisers, then the registrar, the hosting company, then the payment processors, then even the banks

oh and cloudflare protection as well

cloudflare is susceptible to twitter harassment campaigns

so you lose your ddos protection

and get ddosed constantly

I am not a part of any community like that anyway. It just seems weird.

what? the deplatforming?

Like, why?

because

some people just cant let others be

cut the nose off to spite the face

the silver lining is that this will hopefully create more of an incentive to create more alt-tech solutions, decentralized hosting, payment processors alternative currencies etc

That's concerning. As long as I get my 2 orders from Daniel Denfense, I'm square for now. Better not start shutting down existing orders.

yeah paypal is known for deplatforming people

well more, succumbing to twitter mobs

thats what i dont get about these twitter mobs attacking advertisers

like... they obviously arent your target market so why the fuck do they care?

I feel like I'm missing something. There must be more to the story.

but, part of the google adsense monopoly

im speaking in general its been done to multiple sites

gab got hit hard

because in the beginning the only people who really used nonmoderation sites were super edgelords

the same for bitchute too i believe

they popped up around the youtube adbpocalypse

I think I'm going to ignore this deplatforming stuff for a few days. It seems too fantastical.

been going on for years

very simple, internet activists cherry pick a few comments, attribute it to the entire community/site, demand it get taken down, if the website doesnt remove the community (or is the whole community) they go after advertisers, then they get their buzzfeed journo friends to label it a hate site, etc

very predictable pattern

basically exactly what happened with parler, but on a very accelerated timeline

if you want an encrypted and gtg messenger i'd recommend signal

i've met moxie marlinspike the guy is a zealot about a free internet
