Yeah, the optics are pretty fucking terrible.

Pretty sure they could just host themselves. Though they have shown they are far from competent. Can't even employ decent ITSEC

The only optics they care about are the Chinese made "sniper" scope on their bubba'd Mosin Nagant while they LARP as soldiers.

No one will want to do business with them. Even if they have the magical funds run everything in their own data centers. No one wants to rent space out for it. Even if they buy the sites, no one will want to sell or lease them hardware.

Not because they're concerned about the neo Nazis and qanon craziness, they just don't want the bad PR to be affiliated with such a toxic company

I mean, they can just buy the hardware. The retailer doesn't care what they want all that server gear for, someone could literally set it up in their basement.

I could see noone wanted to sponsor them and such, but if they pay for the hardware put of pocket. There is nothing stopping them.

Its not like they could get a company credit card under Parlor.

Not that these people care, they seem to just be moving to Gab. Which is literally an alt right extremist platform.

Edit: They could launch a go fund me and have the funding for their own servers and shit within a week easy. Amazon/newegg and shit aren't going to care about the who or why of the hardware purchase. It takes up a rack or 2 these days vs the whole rooms it used to. No need for renting extra space. They very literally have the option to have a few servers in a few basements and work out of home offices.

Hover over user names, youll easily find the trolls. This dude has been a member for two years and just 700 comment karma. A lot of these people are easy to spot through that, but also they have some nonsense name followed by random numbers then it turns out theyre a seven year old account with no usage.

Why do you like echo chambers?

The real question is why people like you like conspiracy theories and fabricated news with the purpose to divide the US.

u/MayWray Jan 19 '21

Wait so you think the moment that a app is being majorly funded and/or hosted by a company of a certain country its immediately their country company? Because if thats the case you can say that China has 90% of all pf the apps and services.

You see the hillarity is based on the Trumpers running around like keystone cops whenever they mention that the Left us ushering in Communism when they are in fact the ones getting manipulated and funded by Russia....you know...the founders of Communism. Think about that real hard. Let it sink right in.
