You get an AWS account, and register a domain name for me – ten bucks. In return I’ll set up whatever sort of website you want on that AWS account, worth far more than ten bucks. Setting up your own WordPress is trivial, and the cost is maybe five bucks a month, if even that. But I could probably do better than WordPress. Also interested in the “Fediverse” thing.
We could have a whole online Empire, and do “Social Media” the right way, the way it was intended – the original Decentralized Internet.
Frankly I work better as a sort of “second in command” than running a whole thing myself.
I like blogging enough that I’d be willing to put some time into it, but I’d prefer to remain anonymous. Not “hide from the NSA” anonymous, but like Tor and burner phone anonymous.
I’d also be interested in a podcast, especially the “Podcast 2.0” stuff. Maybe twice a month.
I know for a fact I have a bunch of readers who are computer nerds – one guy actually gave me a long lecture on the R programming language. I would never call myself a “computer scientist” but, you know, I’ve done javascript/html/css crap forever, no big deal, hell I even wrote a toy scheme in college once.
The actual dollar amounts are trivial, and Bitcoin isn’t actually private at all. So I really just want someone else to handle all that stuff. But I can do the rest.
I have a protonmail and a Gab.com at this name, so, let me know.
Banned Hipster 
I feel like I’m putting all this time and energy and work to make WP richer selling ads, and chances are I’ll just get banned again at any time.
I’m not in it for the money, but I’d still prefer to have my own thing, or better, a thing with other people. If they make money via ads, good for them, I’d totally support that.
But WP sucks now, it has become nearly unusable, and I want something more permanent that can’t be so easily censored.

Come join us over at freespeechextremist.com on the Fediverse. The sysadmin, P, is a real hero who is well respected by the denizens of this hive of scum and villany — he has also been known to help people set up their own Fedi instance.
We often talk about various strategies for censorship-resistance and avoiding the kinds of problems you have been having. Deploying systems that are secure, anonymous, yet usable by non-technical people is a priority.
For wiki / blog like systems, I’m partial to Redmine. It’s a bit heavyweight but it does all the things, the project’s website, redmine.org, uses Redmine itself. I think you can generate your own test instance so you can play around with the features.
Once again, thank you for all of your hard work investigating all of this stuff. I’ve noticed more and more of the 9/11 material disappearing off of the internet, hopefully I’ve saved enough of it. Because your previous sites got taken down I never really got a complete picture of what you personally experienced that day, but I know you’ve been through a lot since then.
