Do we have a back up plan for DU during the elections?
I remember election day in 2016 when, suddenly, hackers took control of DU and shut it down. One second I was reading content and the next second a scary image came on the screen and the site was down. I don't recall how long it took to get back online, I'm thinking it was the better part of a week.
I expect the same attacks will happen during the midterms.
Is there a strategy in place for moving the discussion around if hackers crash DU? Can we meet on FB for instructions to a secondary site? What is the plan?

I just hit it and now showing The Rock in "Skyscraper" - which just opened in theaters!
Don't you just love the internet? 
Now, DU has a big Twitter account now, and FB, so if it happens again we can keep up a bit better.
Lol remembering. Thinking it'd be a mixed forum, the last time I did go briefly check out Discussionist. It's a DU satellite set up as a mixed companion forum, but it seems to get most of its energy from hostile reaction to DU. DU is its reason to exist. There was just way too much malice, bad society, and I left quick.
Btw, as it happens, a short time ago I dropped by for the first time in nearly a year and noticed some truthful OPs being posted and left for conservative DIers to swarm in and deny. 
Boy, is there some major denial. These little exercises seemed to be almost the only truth posted there.
This is a very bad era to be naturally conservative in. I can't exactly feel sorry for people who behave this way, but clearly too many really didn't have a chance. These days, those vulnerable to manipulation are like cattle born to be raised and lead to the mental slaughterhouse.
Some're actively looking forward to Russia, or whomever, taking DU down again btw.
