Lmao. Is there anywhere they can go that wouldn't immediately block them?
Torrent magnet link to social media on several seed boxes. Magnet links with DHT (Distributed Hash Table) are fully decentralized. You can't stop a 60 character text string.
Maybe they'd try to ban text strings again https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number
He can use a locally hosted gitea
Of course he can... But then it's as simple as a DDoS attack to shut it down. He wouldn't want to host it on his own equipment, because there is a huge possibility for attack. He can pay for a server, but I assume he'd just setup the one. Unless he pays for a distributed server setup, there would be a single point of failure, and a single server to overwhelm. He can use CloudFlare, but then CloudFlare can decide they don't like his content either, and just block access altogether.
All of those things are much harder with an existing website with a larger infrastructure, and content other than his own posts.

Well said.. It would be difficult to match the load balancers larger sites have. Cost, resources, etc. Side note: fuck cloudflare.
He could host a Tor Hidden Service or an I2P eepsite. Still possible to DDoS, but a bit harder. But then you're missing out on 99% of spreading possibilities.
Tor is a good idea. There are plenty of people that would happily seed the repository to spite Microslop
Put it on i2p and let the world shuffle it around.
I2P would be fine. They can ddos the service to an extent, but they'd just have to leave it there forever.
Plebbit, they don't moderate anything AFAIK (with predictable results)
*they
the researcher's pronouns and such are unknown at this time as they have remained anonymous
assuming male as default for everyone leads to trans people getting misgendered and is just generally a shitty out-of-touch thing to do
I happened to pick up in the article the neutral pronoun and have avoided it, but to accuse a pretty casual use of a prounoun as being a shitty thing to do is.. a shitty thing to do.
Incidentally, I hate the plural pronoun as the stand in for unspecified. Especially when talking about a company versus an individual, it is useful to use the plural to refer to company and a singular for the individual. Otherwise it's a vague mess. It's so confusing when folks are using plural to refer to singular people.
Why should misgendering be treated with more respect than the respect given?
Sorry but they has always been both singular and plural.
'Can you flag the waiter when they're not busy?' Has always been grammatically correct. Its always been the 'I'm not sure option'. You don't say he/she when you don't know how to refer to someone, you use they.

I don't mind being corrected, but calling an honest mistake a shitty thing to do makes me just want to get defensive and not be receptive to what you're actually saying.
Have you considered the possibility that aggressively interjecting pronoun arguments into unrelated conversations and implying people are shitty and out of touch is eroding public support for trans rights?
Sorry, but if your allyship is so fragile that someone being a dick online can wiaver it, you were never an ally.
Do you want more allies? Chasing away reluctant ones seems counterproductive to me TBH.
No, I don't want fake ally's.
Were not a pymarid scheme. Were people asking for basic respect.
And if you see that as a problem, not only were you never an ally, your actively part of the problem.
