Boycott GoDaddy! It's the one hosting prolifewhistleblower.com, the TX antiabortion reporting site

[wackadoo wabbit]

If you purchased a domain through GoDaddy, you can switch it to another domain registrar, even if it's not yet renewal time.

If you use GoDaddy for web and/or email hosting, you can switch to another host immediately now, also.

Make GoDaddy pay for hosting this POS site.

If eventually all web hosts find that their other accounts are transferring, perhaps no one will host it.

1. I will move all all my urls ASAP.

Fuckers!

6. Great! And be sure to tell them why you're doing it /nt

2. Also, it's not actually the state of Tx hosting, it's some fasco-christian group

3. Yeah, I know. I was trying to get all the pertinent info in the limited headline space

If you think the headline is misleading, I can try to rework it.

4. Thank you.

Please cross-post to Bloggers and Website, DB, & Software Developers groups.

I've never used GoDaddy, but would definitely dump them over this.

5. That's a great idea. Thanks! /nt

8. There are several threads with this info on Reddit today.

And Reddit is full of tech-savvy liberals -- and many GoDaddy customers, no doubt -- so I expect that there will be some good results from those folks.

One example:
https://www.reddit.com/r/bestof/comments/pb1re2/mr_prestonius_points_out_how_the_state_of_texas/

If you enter "GoDaddy abortion" in Reddit's search bar you'll see other similar threads.

Note -- a couple of posts over there say the fascist site has "been taken down" or is otherwise offline, but this morning it's up and apparently functioning.

13. I know. This is so great!

I was going to post something on Reddit myself last night after I wrote it here, but I couldn't figure out which subreddit to post in. I'm so glad that others there are doing it.

9. this boycott could make a huge difference

[wackadoo wabbit]

12. That's what I was hoping

Now that GoDaddy's pulled the plug on them (was it because of the fear of a boycott? I heard that Reddit was calling for a boycott today, too), we need to boycott their next host. Then the one after that. And so on and so on.

15. GoDaddy has booted them

This is pretty old news, hope you all haven't moved your urls yet.

[wackadoo wabbit]

17. Yes, I know. Yay!

I posted this last night at 11:09 p.m. This morning Reddit was calling for a boycott, too.

It appears that GoDaddy was worried about their bottom line.

FWIW, GoDaddy is a shitty company. Here's a list of some of the more public problems with them, and it doesn't even include their misogynistic ads (or the trouble I've personally known that a couple of people have had with them):

16. GoDaddy has been consistently misogynistic since it's debut.

So, no problem. I never would use them anyway.

[wackadoo wabbit]

18. Yeah, me either /nt
