Conservative personalities and politicians are flocking to the social media app Parler after Twitter permanently banned President Trump's account Friday.

"It appears @parler_app servers are overwhelmed by people leaving @Twitter. Good luck guys, keep up your fight for free speech!" former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale cheered.

The title is wrong, it should read “Insurrectionists Storm Parler!”.

I’m sticking with Gab for now, and mostly as a lurker.

What private info do you give Parlor when you join?

I prefer “right wing extremist”, or “white supremacist”. The more they bandy those terms about, the less meaning they have. They’re giving the label to 75 million Americans who went out to vote in good faith on November 3 last only to be disenfranchised and vilified.

My wife, years ago, got me a mug that says “Proud to be a Right-Wing nut job!” It’s my favorite!

You can do both, I love Parler. They make it better day by day and it’s fun to have intelligent discussion without having to wade through the sewage at Twitter.

A phone number so they can verify you are not a bot. They say they don't store the number. I've never had a TWTR or FB account and I am not going get one for Parlor to view posts.

I never had a Twitter account. However, I joined Parlor this morning.

I'm having no trouble navigating Parler this morning, although I imagine it will feel the crunch of heavy traffic again today.

There's nothing wrong with so much success that one has to build out more servers.

Now to research which is better, Rumble or Bitchute?

Put me down for white supremacist. I am white and I am actually better than most.

Email and name - if you want to become “verified” (prove who you are) you can give them extra info.

"Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."

I'd prefer the above to our current government...

“Now to research which is better, Rumble or Bitchute?”, why not BOTH?

Let’s see how many news sites put the Parler icon alongside of Facebook and Twitter.

(Just dropped Twitter. I was only using it to post article comments anyway since the news sites did away with theirs.)

The trouble is that we can’t tell which Trump account is the real one.

Is Parler having capacity or networking problems again? The direct link JoSixChip sent me worked absolutely fine until about 20 minutes ago. Now it gives me the same “Private Account” error I had early this morning. And, a search on dogpile.com doesn’t list any Donald Trump or President Trump accounts at all.
