Perhaps Gab will be more compatible with my tastes. I haven’t gone there yet.

Was the private user data of Parler users compromised when the site went down?

Ran traceroute and parler.com is alive, tho may be stalled. Looks like it might be hosted by epik.com - hits are coming back from the Seattle, WA, area.

But I think that's a good sign, right?

Hello world, is this thing on?

Parler! Technical Difficulties Now seems like the right time to remind you all — both lovers and haters — why we started this platform. We believe privacy is paramount and free speech essential, especially on social media. Our aim has always been to provide a nonpartisan public square where individuals can enjoy and exercise their rights to both. We will resolve any challenge before us and plan to welcome all of you back soon. We will not let civil discourse perish!
