Of all the "deplatformings" this one is the hardest to feel sorry for. They clearly had a lot of technical debt and very little expertise in what they were doing. Seeing their AWS bill, it's apparent they were not without resources either.
As far as I am aware, they are still just moving around their horrendously cobbled together Wordpress monstrosity to whatever giant benefactor that has a couch they can crash on. It's clearly other peoples' fault that they are so dependent on other's technology!
And while I am very receptive towards conservative ideals as well as criticisms of tech and mainstream media, this is a bit like watching someone starve to death because Blue Apron stopped delivering to them.
