Obviously, supporting a New York real estate billionaire is anti-establishment for some reason

Socialism by definition is not anti establishment. It's anti current establishment but the philosophy is geared towards a bigger government "establishment".
No, it is not. Socialism does not mean statism. Please feel free to read up on libertarian socialism, Anarcho syndicalism or even eco socialism. The Greens/EFA in europe lean towards libertarian socialism.
I was 100% not aware if libertarian socialism. Definitely something to learn about. Thank you
I'm pretty sure that's the difference between anti establishing and anti government. the "establishment" is the established power structure. technically fascists ARE anti establishment in most places. and that's a very good thing.
Are they tho
Republicans are going mask off, Italy is run by fascists again, AfD is at 20%, Putin is invading neighbors and bankrolling white supremacists world wide, Israel's engaging in open genocide, their neighbors wish they could do the same, the second largest party in Sweden was founded by Neo-Nazis...

Depends which sense of "socialism" you mean, purely Marxist socialism perhaps, socialism in general no.

I think that's the difference: Pirate Bay and Silkroad knew they were inherently anti-establishment, but it seems to me that Parler and Gab think of themselves as "alternative establishment" or something.
Pirate Bay was never trying to compete with Netflix or Steam-- it's conceptually very different. But Parler very much wants (wanted?) to just be Twitter but with right-wing politics.
Parler and gab just want to be mask-off racist twitter/facebook. Nothing anti-establishment there at all.
Pirate Bay and Silk Road were knowingly breaking the law in nearly every nation on earth and trying to avoid capture doing so, both failed to do so by various degrees. This is anti-establishment as they are flagrantly disobeying copyright and narcotics laws at these two sites.
Pirate Bay is still operational, just not by the original owner. I don’t know about Silk Road as I have no interest in drugs
pretty sure silk road is gone irrc. I could be thinking of something else tho.
Silk road is long gone but there are a plethora of other similar markets. Just like any other service in demand when one gets shutdown three more pop up in it's place.
That’s a great distinction, I’m gonna start stealing that.
Some people aren’t anti establishment, they are anti-not-my-establishment. You can’t call yourself anti establishment if you just don’t like the current one.

Those fucks who run Parler aren’t anti-establishment, quite the opposite, they are boot licking fascists.

My dad always said "Don't trust a man in a suit telling you who's wrong" but then again he fell in line with Trump when he grew old.
Christ, if that happens to me, kill me.
Don't worry, he did it so you won't get a chance to.
I demand the government force this private company to provide me free speech.
I would advice against hosting servers in Russia, though. Police raids on datacenters, where they literally rip servers out from the racks, are, unfortunately, a common occurence.
Where would you recommend?
IANAL, but, from a purely technical standpoint, Netherlands is a big hub of east-west Eurasian communications, so the latency, on average, is at least decent from everywhere on the continent. Germany seems to be popular option too, with lots of hosting companies just selling shares of Hetzner nodes. I myself host all my crap in the US because all the good stuff is over there. If you're asking about the pirate stuff... I don't know, maybe consider India? They seem to be struggling with cybercriminals over there

We are on the anti establishment platform my guy
Fascists aren't anti establishment. Their whole thing is doing even worse things to preserve capitalism when it enters crisis.
They become the establishment.
No, they always were. That's the point of fascism. To present an "alternative" that keeps the same group in power.

I'm not a dev. What's a mirror? Sorry for being uncool.
Basically a copy of the infrastructure, so that you can switch over, if the first/main instance is lost (by a government, for example).
Hate when the government loses my servers :(
Literally a server standing by and doing the same thing as the other by being a backup in case the 1st gets taken down.

Gab has their own server infrastructure.
Can we DDoS it?
Apparently they’re working on Christian AI too lol
I would say supporting a scammer criminal is pretty anti etablishment
