I think that's the difference: Pirate Bay and Silkroad knew they were inherently anti-establishment, but it seems to me that Parler and Gab think of themselves as "alternative establishment" or something.
Pirate Bay was never trying to compete with Netflix or Steam-- it's conceptually very different. But Parler very much wants (wanted?) to just be Twitter but with right-wing politics.
-
Parler and gab just want to be mask-off racist twitter/facebook. Nothing anti-establishment there at all.
Pirate Bay and Silk Road were knowingly breaking the law in nearly every nation on earth and trying to avoid capture doing so, both failed to do so by various degrees. This is anti-establishment as they are flagrantly disobeying copyright and narcotics laws at these two sites.
Pirate Bay is still operational, just not by the original owner. I don’t know about Silk Road as I have no interest in drugs

That’s a great distinction, I’m gonna start stealing that.
Some people aren’t anti establishment, they are anti-not-my-establishment. You can’t call yourself anti establishment if you just don’t like the current one.
-
Totally. I'm not even sure how many do call themselves anti-establishment, but I do know that there's lots of talk on the right about building a "second economy" and "alternative public square" and stuff like the Daily Wire trying to make movies, all as part of this "fine, I'll open my own casino" kind of play. It's very purposefully establisment-focused, just not the existing one.

It's simpler than that: fascists lie.

Those fucks who run Parler aren’t anti-establishment, quite the opposite, they are boot licking fascists.

“Stealing I can accept, but having an opinion that’s different from my own is where I draw the line.”

- Piracy isn't stealing, primarily since the victim still has the pirated goods and can continue to sell them, but doubly so since people who pay for those goods legitimately don't own them and are at the complete mercy of the company to continue to access them. History is rife with examples of companies removing access to digitally paid for goods with no explanation or recourse. Look at the recent PlayStation fiasco, or Warner Brothers cancelling Infinity Train and Inside Job (and pulling the completed seasons from streaming services) because they wanted a tax write-off.
- Questioning the validity of science and half the global population's worth of empirical evidence and endangering oneself and others purely to be contrarian, and, more importantly, continuing to support someone who calls immigrants vermin and quotes Mussolini in his campaign speeches goes beyond "having a different opinion"

My dad always said "Don't trust a man in a suit telling you who's wrong" but then again he fell in line with Trump when he grew old.
Christ, if that happens to me, kill me.

Don't worry, he did it so you won't get a chance to.

I don't know what this is referring to, but GoDaddy can suck an entire warehouse of cocks.

Agreed, GoDaddy can suck an entire warehouse of cocks. It's important you know the basic context, because in a weird way this can be considered history.
This is another Trump Derangement Syndrome type post. Remember when Trump got kicked off of Twitter & other social media platforms? Conservatives & Republicans said FINE, we'll make our own social media platform! With blackjack! And hookers! Parler was born.
...but Amazon & I guess GoDaddy, too, decided after Parler was built that they wanted nothing to do with Parler. So they yanked out the infrastructure, the hosting & servers, that Parler was built on. Parler was unable to function. Liberals rejoiced & jeered, conservatives were understandably distraught.
Somehow Truth Social exists, via Mastodon & some weird-ass open source structure. Nobody cares about Truth Social, though.
Basically this post is mocking the Republicans, conservatives for feeble attempts to grassroots build an internet presence. And not having robust contingency plans in place, and owning every step of the process, to ensure it could not be disrupted or fucked with.

You lost me at "Trump Derangement Syndrome" which is a term only used to gaslight people who have legitimate issues with Trump.

I demand the government force this private company to provide me free speech.

I would advice against hosting servers in Russia, though. Police raids on datacenters, where they literally rip servers out from the racks, are, unfortunately, a common occurence.
-
Where would you recommend?
-
IANAL, but, from a purely technical standpoint, Netherlands is a big hub of east-west Eurasian communications, so the latency, on average, is at least decent from everywhere on the continent. Germany seems to be popular option too, with lots of hosting companies just selling shares of Hetzner nodes. I myself host all my crap in the US because all the good stuff is over there. If you're asking about the pirate stuff... I don't know, maybe consider India? They seem to be struggling with cybercriminals over there

Sweden? I know VPNs tend to like Sweden from a privacy standpoint

It's required to have literally zero knowledge of worldwide piracy and its current state to post or upvote such things.

I'm sure you can corroborate this with evidence.

Sure

The info is a bit buried under the news of Ukraine's police apparently raiding lots of data-center since 2014 (mofos got their own language but still post news in Russian, smh), but I'm pretty sure that rghost, rutracker, rutor, RAMP, zaycev and the likes were also raided this way at some point - the police just came to the data-center, out of the blue, and literally just ripped the servers out. There was also some drama with some major hosting I don't quite remember the name of, where police got involved at some point, prevented the staff from entering and caused a massive outage back in the day, I'll update if I remember which one was it.
Overall, though, there's not as many sources as I expected. Feels like either my memory is giving up or I've travelled dimensions... or it's just roskomnadzor being at it again. I'll check with my sysadmin friends, who personally had to deal with those situations, to check what is up and why there's so little coverage on this.

We are on the anti establishment platform my guy
-
I'm not a dev. What's a mirror? Sorry for being uncool.
-
Basically a copy of the infrastructure, so that you can switch over, if the first/main instance is lost (by a government, for example).
-
Hate when the government loses my servers :(
-
-
Literally a server standing by and doing the same thing as the other by being a backup in case the 1st gets taken down.
-
When the fuck did that happen? We're cool now?
-
-
Gab has their own server infrastructure.
-
Can we DDoS it?

Apparently they’re working on Christian AI too lol

Hahahahahahaha.
Or so the victim movement wants us to believe.

Socialist devs now
Socialism by definition is not anti establishment. It's anti current establishment but the philosophy is geared towards a bigger government "establishment".
No, it is not. Socialism does not mean statism. Please feel free to read up on libertarian socialism, Anarcho syndicalism or even eco socialism. The Greens/EFA in europe lean towards libertarian socialism.
I'm pretty sure that's the difference between anti establishing and anti government. the "establishment" is the established power structure. technically fascists ARE anti establishment in most places. and that's a very good thing.
Depends which sense of "socialism" you mean, purely Marxist socialism perhaps, socialism in general no.
You are confusing socialism with communism. Latter is anti-establishment.
You are confusing left-liberalism with socialism.
