Microcosm is a single binary self hosted thing that has no dependencies on major providers and can run on any Linux server and is horizontally scalable. We don't have apps on an app store, we're just a website. It's highly performant and can take a DDoS attack, and a lot of the underlying infra isn't even American... I.e. we have a .sm top level domain for the backend and are hosted in Europe.
The thing that could be taken down is the domain name, so I'd change it and would bring it up fast. Then I'd make the first resolver a proxy and would hide where the site was actually hosted.
I'm paranoid as hell so the site was designed with the experience of being sued by the BNP member and trying to ensure a future site would be hard to knock offline.
Parler were idiots, I am not.
