No, no, and NO.

AO3 does not live in “the cloud” because that is other people’s computers, and other people’s computers are vulnerable to censorship.

AO3 is on its own computers. It does still have to be housed somewhere, and I suppose a determined enough hater could try to find that place and go after it, but it’s a lot harder than sending spurious complaints to Amazon or whomever going “BadWrong things are hosted on your cloud service!”

Owning the servers is a core tenet of OTW/AO3.

Warming up a new database server….

[elfwreck]

When people involved with AO3 talk about “the cost of servers” they don’t mean “the cost to pay Amazon for space on their servers.” They mean, like, the cost to physically own them, and eventually replace them with new ones. And the operating costs to run them.

AO3 is not “in the cloud.” AO3 is stored on physical machines that the OTW owns.

While this is not a solution that can work for everyone who wants to deal with controversial content, it is why AO3ple sneer at alt-righters who complain about getting thrown off hosting platforms.

I Want Us to Own the Goddamned Servers

Because I want us to own the goddamned servers, ok? Because I want a place where we can’t be TOSed and where no one can turn the lights off or try to dictate to us what kind of stories we can tell each other.

AO3 is what a website looks like when you seize the means of production.

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

Shout out to the guy who wanted to do some fun & silly little reviews but uncovered an illegal gambling operation

(Review 2)

[json-derulo]

this guy started out poking fun at australian politicians and ended up investigating the firebombing of his own home, during which he uncovered connections between the same politician he was making fun of + major organized crime

[wedding-funeral-waitress]

JasperDasper started out just curious why everything had suddenly become about trans people and questioning some of the sources used in a book. He came out of it, 4 years later, with a 5 hour long video that connects all transphobia to less than 60 people. (I'm not joking. literally every single transphobic rhetoric and bill passed is because of these 50 or so people.)

If you wanna watch it I cannot recommend it enough; I just warn that it covers a LOT.

reading a romance novel where the protagonist feels the need to stop and inform that audience that it's okay for her, a 27 year old, to hook up with a 31 year old because despite the age difference both of their brains are fully developed. the Discourse really has done incalculable damage.

[ascholarlyengineer]

that's...they're adults 4 years apart, who on Earth would think there's any sort of meaningful age gap

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

[justgazing]

This is breathtaking

#you know those posts that are like. pulling up a small weed and discovering it's attached to a root system that wraps around the sewer line.#this is one of those.

#I am a 21 year old dating a 20 year old and my friend is weird about it#Like WHO AM I ALLOWED TO DATE FOR YOU TO NOT THINK IM WEIRD#one fucking year! Wth!#and I’ve told her that it bothers me but I don’t think she has internalized that it actually really bothers me when she talks like it#not because I’m embarrassed by dating someone. One year younger than me. But because she’s making me feel bad#about something objectively normal#her parents have a 4 year age gap. What the fuck do you want from me

gamer forgive me if this comes off as aggressive but you did reblog from me so i will confirm to you now that your friend is being super weird and one year difference means nothing at pretty much any age level where it is normal to date and i encourage you to be a little more directly 'hey man wtf' with your friend about it

adding notes because i'm 95% sure that this is a catamaran/boat tour in Luderitz, Namibia. You can rent a boat and a guide takes you out and gives you some history of the area (the german concentration camps) and points out various wildlife (seals, penguins etc). We did see a lot of animals when I went, but it was never this exciting!
