WordPress de-platforms Conservative Treehouse despite no violation of t&c’s
The WordPress company is not explaining the reason for deplatforming because there is no justifiable reason for it. They don’t care.
Truthful assembly is now the risk. CTH is now too big; with a site reach of 500,000 to a million unique readers each day; and with well over 200,000 subscribers; our assembly is too large, too influential, and presents a risk… we guard the flickering flame.
The ‘content’ is not compatible with WordPress, the world’s largest website and blog hosting service. The content within the largest blog on that global platform is what has become troublesome. “The content”.
Let that settle in…. friends and adversaries alike. Think very hard about what exactly is being represented by these actions.

Slightly different view here, this is not that big a deal, and wordpress.com has the right to terminate accounts.
The options for the theconservativetree.com is to move to a different platform. They are hard to find, but if you get someone that know’s what they are doing they can have this site back up before the 4Dec deadline on a different platform without missing a beat. And wordpress, ala Foxx, will have cooked another golden goose. Their loss in the end.
Also wordpress.com is not the real wordpress development folks. They are a shill, stole the domain licenses early, and other then having the name wordpress have nothing to do with the actual code.
WordPress.org is where the software development resides, and by the way the .org version absolutely despises the .com version. Never – ever use wordpress.com, great advice for all as they are not affiliated in any way with wordpress.
That is very interesting and encouraging Hearst
Thank You
Thank you Hearst — didn’t know this background at all and just assumed that we were talking the real WordPress.
Question — if they are separate/different — why wouldn’t Sundance just move over to the real version??

In 2018 they were de-platformed by WP for the same reason (conservatism). FOTM found other servers and is now running as normal.
The story here.

This is a wordpress site. Which one is it? The good WP or the bad WP?
This one is neither. It runs platform independent of any dedicated wordpress sites. Our own destiny is in our hands…and we can move as needed.
It does in part use the code from wordpress.org.
Great! So youn can’t be deplatformed. This silencing of everyone is really getting on my nerves. I think those of us with something to say should be able to say it without always being shut down by someone elses pettiness. These guys cannot win by debate and discussion obviously. Putting the truth to the lies leaves them defenceless so they have concocted this alternate strategy which is to just shut us all up by taking away the venues for communicating.
Well said Farmer. That is what repressive, totalitarian regimes do. Censor the truth and stifle descent because their beliefs are bankrupt and would never be able to stand on their own if people were free to choose.
