Parler, The "Free Speech Alternative" to FB and Twitter just banned us. And We're Not alone...
Facebook ^

Posted on 12/30/2020 1:54:38 PM PST by A.M. Smith

We were banned from Parler! We are still in shock. After being lured to the platform with the promise of a "free speech town square" we were banned. We received no warning and no explanation. We didn't post anything on our Parler that we didn't also post to FB and Twitter, so it comes as a great shock that PARLER, the one openly calling themselves the "free speech alternative" is the one that bans us.

It's been 4 days now and and no response. We've read their TOS and guidelines multiple times and can confirm that we broke none of their rules. We do want to give them ample opportunity to address this however. Maybe it's just a mistake, but it doesn't look good for them.

We have proudly pushed Parler to our followers for the last several months as we strongly supported the idea of a true alternative to big tech's monopoly on social media. But if Parler doesn't live up to these very ideals that they promote then what's the point? We MUST hold them accountable!

Mr Matze, either give us a reason that we've been banned, un-ban us or stop promoting your platform as a "free speech" alternative.

And no, I’m not going to hit Facebook just to see what you could post here (assuming it’s acceptable here).

I have, literally, no idea. Not even a clue. And Parler won’t respond to our emails.

Almost 700,000 fans on Facebook and everything we posted on Parler is also posted to FB... so it’s very surprising that the only platform we’ve ever been banned from is the one openly promoting itself as a “free speech town square”.

It might help if you posted who you are exactly and what kinds of stuff you post on Parler. For all I know is you're some commie plant trying to overthrow the US government.

As in anything that is new, I have friends and acquaintances who wanted me to jump over to Parler head first right away.

I said I'd wait and see.

Now I've seen.

This noob is simply trying to get clicks for some site called “EnVolve” which is a mess of a site full of conspiracy theories and “Trump is our GOD!” rhetoric. In other words, it’s nonsense.

Wow, welcome to the fold fellow conservative. Since Dec 11, 2020, huh? I’m sure you got your decoder ring, tinfoil helmet, complimentary package of hot sauces (El Diablo is my favorite!) and the various t shirts that we all get upon joining the Freep (my personal favorite is the Chuck Schumer dressed up like the Mona Lisa one.)

Those folks are such meanie bo-beanies over at Parler...

I tried for two months tonregister to parlor....I don’t text and they would never steer me in the right direction...even using the work around on the web site didn’t work.
Never got a live person to respond to emails...only a computer generated response.... finally sad screw it...not worth the aggravation

I posted the whole FB message here so no need to go to FB. Just linked so others could see our page and the type of posts we make.

Probably gave you more publicity that you’ve ever had. I had never heard of you. I clicked on your Facebook account and your website. Once.

FB shilling is just like blog pimping.

So I am calling in an HG strike!
