A comment on Amazon, Apple and Google Cut Off Parler. Parent comment

I think (but not sure) this thread was combined from multiple separate threads, some of which were only about Apple or Google or Amazon's actions. It seems like several threads with a few hundred comments each disappeared, and this one with 2k comments appeared out of nowhere.

That might explain why it looks like all of the comments are about one or the other.

It did with at least one thread. I was reading on [0] refreshed and found that all comments were replaced with a message that they’d been moved here.

Yes, I believe that's what happened here. Very poor decision by the mods; the Google/Apple ones make sense to merge, but the AWS one is a very different issue, and could have a far more interesting technical discussion about migration paths.
