The really laughable part...if PDJT exits Twitter and gets an account on Parler, all the anti-Trump trolls will have to follow, thereby boosting Parler’s membership considerably.

Never been on Twitter or any social media. Value my privacy too much to muck about with all that malarkey.
However, I get to Twitter several times a day to check President Trump’s tweets.
Fortunately you don't need to join Twitter to read his tweets.
However, if President Trump joins Parler or Gab, I may just join too, just to stick it to Twitter.

Never been on Twitter or any social media.

It's humorous to hear people say that on Free Republic.

Free Republic is the very epitome of social media!

[SmokingJoe]

Yes.
Not to mention the tens of millions of Trump supporters.
I have been advocating for Trump to leave Twitter for years.

[RandFan]

Way ahead of its time.

Parler is alright though. It will get better over time as they develop it.

[usconservative]

Free Republic was “social media” before it was cool.

[SmokingJoe]

I hear you.
But then Freerepublic was there before Twitter and probably before Facebook too. And you don’t have family and friends with pictures and what not like Facebook. Quute different I’d have thought.

[SmokingJoe]

My main concern with Parler is, can their servers handle the workload of a sudden surge of tens of millions of users?
Even Twitter can't handle their workload half the time. It kinda times out a lot when accessing President Trump’s page.
And Twitter video is garbage.
How is video on Parler?

[RandFan]

Here are some of the accounts i’m following:

@RandPaul (U.S Senator from Kentucky)
@MattBracken (Freeper)
@zerohedge (BANNED by Twitter)
@RepLouieGohmert (TX Congressman)
@projectveritas (Investigative journalism)
@ALX (BANNED by Twitter)
@Posobiec (OANN Host)

As you can see some biggish names there. And there’s many more. I’m just getting started and playing around/learning.

I hope others can check it out as well.

I signed up, still trying to figure out the various bells and whistles but it seems like it’s a great alternative.

[SmokingJoe]

Thanks.

[McGavin999]

Also Dan Bongino, Rudy Giuliani, and a whole host of politicians

[RandFan]

My main concern with Parler is, can their servers handle the workload of a sudden surge of tens of millions of users?

Probably not I dont know. I think they will have teething problems but they're growing rapidly so who knows

[RandFan]

>Bongino

Thanks! Will follow Dan.

There are a lot of people coming over! I can’t keep up! :)

[Manic_Episode]

Just joined Parler. Didnt see Freerepublic.

[rephope]

Twitter, like Free Republic, can be viewed by non-members; therefore, reaching more people. Can Parler?

[RandFan]

The CEO said its going to be viewable by the public soon but not right now

[SmokingJoe]

[RandFan]

That guy is a disgrace. He said the WH was full of Nazi’s.

HE SHOULD NOT HAVE A JOB !
