Imagine trying to run a pro-freedom of speech forum and migrating, multiple times, to a hosting service which doesn't support freedom of speech and bends the knee for leftists. Like you'd probably learn to do research after idk the second or third time.

      Yup that's basically it. And the ones that aren't hot garbage are literally 3x more expensive for the exact same setup we already have now.

      What about the provider kiwifarms uses?

      What about the GDPR would make it so hard for SaidIt to host there?

        Yeah I refuse to host in an EU country where GDPR is valid. It's like DMCA takedowns on steroids, as I understand it. Not good for saidit.

        Plus other countries actually think "hate speach" is a codifiable legal category. Like just saying 'fuck you' to the wrong person in some countries and now you're a racist or whatever. It is so hard to find free speech countries.
