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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] trackball_fetish@lemmy.wtf 9 points 3 months ago Well said..
