Are there any lists that have been compiled of decent alternatives? I know about Bongino's payment processor, but I'm not sure it looks super-robust or well thought out.
Also, can Cloudflare be trusted? They seem to be much more committed to free speech than everyone else, but there are some worrying signs. My site shouldn't be super-controversial, but I certainly don't trust it with Stripe or DO these days.
Cloudflare has dropped customers for political reasons before. Stormfront was the most high-profile, but I'm positive not the only one.
For payment processing, Matt and Blonde advertise Charity Swipes on their show. They focus on physical card processing but I believe they do have electronic processing as well. Never had need of them myself but might be worth a look.
Never heard anything positive or negative about Digital Ocean.
Unfortunately Digital Ocean was chearleading the de-platforming of Parler and refused them service when AWS booted them. Apparently they have a bunch of woke DEI shit on Twitter as well.
