I joined Parler but find that as usual I’m always here.
Funny I have a twitter but I was never into it. I did get a parler account and I love it. I love it so much in fact it is sucking the life out off me.
It reminds me of Free Republic which I love and also sucks the life out off me..
Let’s say Apple bans the Parler app. Is it possible to download the app from Parler and install it on your own the way you would in Windows? This article suggests that it’s impossible:
I heard about Parler and joined it months ago, but never went there.
With all the noise lately, I open one tab on Parler , and one tab on Twitter.
There are a few big names there, but a lot of them never post there and I see their posts on twitter.
It has potential, but I bet it takes a few years. I joined twitter 15 years before I started using it for news.
I hope they prosper. I try to echo (retweet) and post there when I can.
I have a ton of apps that are not through the App Store on my IPad you just go to the site and bookmark it, the app comes up on a secondary screen, where the search engines are!!
Hahahahaha...soon, you will be a withered, shriveled shell of your former self, having expended it all on FR and Parler!!!!
I do not “do” smartphones, am I really missing out on anything?
A desktop computer works fine for me.
bump for later
I have only seen one single screenshot that came from palor. So the comments are not getting out to non member’s. Which means most of the population.
If you’re on an iPhone, just go to the main webpage, or the page you sign in on, and click the “share” symbol, at bottom of the screen, then click/choose Add to Homescreen. That makes it it’s own icon/app.
So far, that...and having to give a cell #, are the downsides, for me.
Haven’t joined, yet.
LOL!
I don’t have a smart phone and use a desk top as well.
I login maybe once or twice a day to see what’s going on.. I find it interesting although for now and until they develop it more it will compliment twitter not replace it, IMO ...
Depends — how big are your pockets?
A ‘smartphone’ is essentially a pocket-sized supercomputer*, with several types of transponder — including one for cellular networks. AFAIK, the social media sites work as well (or better) on desktops. It’s a tradeoff between mobility and screen size.
* For ‘fun’, compare the specs of a new smartphone with a 1970’s era Cray supercomputer.
>> I do not “do” smartphones, am I really missing out on anything?
Not unless you value wasted time.
I’m on Parler and like it. So far I’m primarily following conservative commentators, and it’s nice to see what they have to say without constraints.
I can only barely manage to be on one life sucking social media site - and I'll leave that as the FreeRepublic. I don't use twitter, but it sounds like Parler would be the route to go.
Yup. Lots of stuff you can do out and about with a smartphone that you can’t while chained to your desktop computer. For example, entirely aside from political discourse and text messaging, I can use apps to order stuff to be readied at restaurants and stores for my pickup. It saves a lot of time.
Also, a smartphone can help you avoid speeding tickets by telling you where the cops are, etc.
