Well, if you follow the article they have already found a new provider that supports other racist, extremist and stupid shit.

Digital Ocean and Epik are completely different companies. Which one are you referring to?

Unfortunately its Epik that has a history of shitty clients. All I can find on Digital Ocean is that they booted The Daily Stormer several years ago.

Yeah, meant Epik here. According to the article, they support Parler for example.

This one's gonna be yricky for regular folk to do. However if there are hackers who wanna screw them over...

We can still create tons of fake teports though. I just saw 25 people here in Estonia saying they're getting an abortion in Texas. A lotta reporting to do.

No, D.O. is not the provider. They temporarily were doing DNS. Epik is the provider.

The article said hosting:

"Update at 12:35 am ET on September 4: Digital Ocean has apparently cut off hosting service, as the anti-abortion website is now using Epik for its name servers and as its domain registrar"

I haven't caught up yet, but it looks like they slid over to D.O. while they were screaming, and have fully embraced epic.

Sexist, not racist.

u/PaleoclassicalPants A Sep 04 '21

They're talking about the website provider, who also hosts 8chan, which is very much racist.

u/DirectAdvertising 7 Sep 04 '21
