This is pretty much Parlers' own fault. Parler made a choice to use cloud infrastructure. They agree to abide by AWS' terms of service. They shouldn't be surpised that they they were booted and no one wants to host them; besides making un-arguably the correct moral choice in this case, companies are also worried about how being associated with Parler would affect their income. In any case, Parler could have built their own server farm instead. It was only 11 years ago that instagram was founded running on a couple of computers.
