Not surprising, when your first and foremost duty as the headhoncho should be doing what you can to keep your site online.

It's been almost a month that the site has been down for now. Yes, an outage should be expected when you get deplatformed at a network level... however they could not put up anything more than a status page in this time.

Rebekah Mercer is done being embarrassed by you! (Reminder: she's the board that fired him.)

I can think of plenty of SV darlings that would take far longer than a month to recover from such an event.

That said, given the content Parler was hosting they really should've planned for something like this, so it makes sense to terminate the CEO.

If you’re going to be the CEO of a terrorist propaganda site, your first job is keeping the site up. ISIS would have fired al-Baghdadi too if he couldn’t get his message out.

we're not talking a static html page, but a social network with thousands or millions of users. Many more moving parts, much more difficult migration.

I don't see it being offline as problem for now as long as it is getting media coverage and people are aware it exists.
