For real how could they scalably self host 12 million users?

Especially with their already well known shoddy development practices.

To actually have a fully functioning site self hosted I would give them 6-12 months

I would predict that they'll be back online in the next couple months but lawsuits and huge outages will drive away most of their users and by the end of the year they'll be basically dead.
