> once your "club" gains too much traction you are still going to be deplatformed by domain registers, DDoS protection services, payment processors etc.

I follow the topic carefully and I've never seen domains being taken down just because people were simply discussing conservative politics.

Hosting platforms love getting paid and tend to block extremist "clubs" like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormfront_(website)




Wasn't gab kicked off from their domain registrar?

I don't know much about Parler, but going just by what people are saying, it seems just like twitter but for conservatives, so it's no good either. Not sure what gab is now up to, but from what I remember, it was just a free speech site. They had some rules like no doxing, but other than that they never banned anyone for anything. You could say anything you want no matter what your politics are, as long as you didn't violate the law. So the issue for me is not really "conservative clubs", but that you will get targeted by the companies up the food chain, just by allowing free speech to be exercised.
