So what is their next step?
I see they're still active, just can't download and therefore no new users. But they have a very large and active base all encouraging each other to do something stupid.

If they want to run Parler with their "free speech" agenda... I.e. hate speech... Then they're going to have to turn it into an onion site, run it on Tor, and make the standard web and apps be TOR proxies.
However the more they do this, the more they will push themselves underground and reduce their own audience.
Otherwise to survive on the web they're going to have to comply with the laws that apply to where they are, and ultimately this means stopping the hate speech.
This is lose-lose for them. They'd continue in either form, but diminished.

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.
