Today's QOP would be denouncing RMN as a RINO.
For that matter, even Saint Ronald wouldn't cut it in the Republican party today. He once said "We can disagree without being disagreeable". That is the exact antithesis of the current party line. Their primary goal in life is to be disagreeable.

But, but, but . . . He's launching it again next Monday, isn't he?
This time, it will work.
For sure.
There's no way it can fail (again).

The docs show just under $1 million on hardware. Wonder how much he spent on the super-genius team that did such a good job on the software.
Re: Mike Lindell's Frank & MyStore & Other Social & Media Fails - FrankSpeech
And, to my untrained ears, a million bucks in hardware for a social-media platform that hopes to compete with Twitter seems horribly underfunded.johnpcapitalist wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 1:07 pmThe docs show just under $1 million on hardware.

I've been told that the replacement costs for the MDF room equipment in a small elementary school will cost a minimum of $500K.

I understand, in principle, that they don't want to architect using a cloud service like AWS since they don't want to risk having a hosting service shut them down. However, if they expect for this site to get any sort of real traffic, do they realize that they will have two main points of failure: the site itself, and its connection to the greater Internet. In my understanding, high traffic sites have to contract with service sites to provide adequate bandwidth, even if you don't care about things like redundancy, load balancing, security, and Denial of Service (DOS) protection. And if they ever get anything resembling social media working, the site will immediately have target painted on it. Talk about a honey pot: crackers must be salivating at the idea of getting the database of the users stupid enough to surrender their credentials to this site.

The quote shows it’s being co-located with CoreSite, who is a very large data center company. Lindell would own the server hardware, with CoreSite providing internet access, uninterrupted power, cooling and site security.FiveAcres wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 3:34 pm I understand, in principle, that they don't want to architect using a cloud service like AWS since they don't want to risk having a hosting service shut them down.

The database for this site is especially attractive, because all the early users had to enter validated mobile phone numbers. Easy enough to doxx all the more violent nut jobs as a result.

The video platform Vimeo has “terminated” the MyPillow account of Mike Lindell, the company’s CEO and a friend and staunch ally of former President Donald Trump. As of Wednesday afternoon, when users click on pages for the “Lindell Management” Vimeo account, a “Sorry, we couldn’t find that page” message appears for where MyPillow and Lindell content was once hosted.
“This is worse than what Twitter did to me and my company!” Lindell said in a brief phone interview on Wednesday. “This affects my business, the Lindell Recovery Network, and the entrepreneurs who I work with.” Lindell also sent The Daily Beast a screenshot of what he said was an email he and his team received from Vimeo on Wednesday at 12:36 p.m. ET, and it reads, “Your account was terminated for violating Vimeo’s Terms of Service…and Community Guidelines. We do not allow accounts that upload content created by or mainly featuring a banned user. As the purpose of your account is to promote content from a banned user, it has been removed. We wish you the best of luck in finding a hosting platform better suited to your needs.”
Lindell has been a key financial backer and advocate for pro-Trump efforts to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election. In the time since Biden’s inauguration, he has stayed in touch with Trump and has also been embroiled in a legal fight with Dominion Voting Systems.
A Vimeo spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday afternoon.

Re: Mike Lindell's Frank & MyStore & Other Social & Media Fails - FrankSpeech
If, as a recovering drug addict, Mike Lindell wants to use his money to help other addicts become clean and sober and to stay that way, that's more than fine with me. Bravo!
I have not looked at his site, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that it contained a lot of the BS he has been spouting everywhere, stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with recovering from addiction and everything to do with promoting the lie of the "stolen election".
He just seems incapable of compartmentalizing. If he had kept his business and recovery sites free from his conspiracy nonsense, I'm sure they would still be active.
