First: good riddance. Let the neo-Nazis, fascists, and white supremacists make do with Stormfront or 4chan.

Second: regardless of your politics/beliefs, this is what people get for not self-hosting.

1. Putting your site on AWS is not self-hosting.

2. Putting your site on Github Pages is not self-hosting.

3. Putting your site on Cloudflare is not self-hosting.

4. Putting your site on shared hosting or a VPS like Dreamhost, DigitalOcean, Linode, or Vultr is not self-hosting.

Self-hosting means you pay for your own pipe, your own hardware, and your own space in which to keep the hardware, whether it's on your own premises or in a co-location facility owned by individuals sympathetic to your views.

Corporations don't exist to provide you with a platform for your views, especially if they're as repugnant as those frequently aired on sites like Parler. They exist to make a profit for their owners/stockholders, and if you hamper that mission they will throw you under a bus.

Whether this is right or wrong is irrelevant; corporations will do as they please unless the state governments that issue their charters (which in the US is mostly Delaware) start revoking them and dissolving corporations that abuse their power.

People keep forgetting that "the cloud" is just somebody else's computer, and that somebody else is NOT your friend or ally.

At some point, you must rely on someone else's infrastructure. What if your DNS provider boots you? What if your ISP won't carry your bytes?

I think you're this close to making an argument for publicly owned infrastructure or for regulating DNS providers and ISPs as public utilities obligated to serve as common carriers. Was that what you had in mind?
