Social media platform Parler jumped to the top downloaded app this weekend, as conservatives rally support to leave Facebook and Twitter over censorship.
“The media and the anti-Trump lunatics have awakened a sleeping giant. We gave a collective middle finger to the tech tyrants as Parler remains the NUMBER ONE most downloaded app in the world. Thank you!” conservative commentator Dan Bongino said Sunday morning.
Parler is in the top spot for most popular free apps on Apple as of Sunday morning, beating out TikTok and YouTube.
Parler was founded in 2018 and has been lauded as a platform that protects free speech.
“Parler is an unbiased social media focused on real user experiences and engagement. Our content is moderated based off the FCC and the Supreme Court of the United States which enables free expression without violence and a lack of censorship. Parler never shares your personal data,” the platform’s description reads.
Bongino announced a partnership with Parler in June, taking an ownership stake in the company.
I’ve decided it’s time to fight back against the Tech Tyrants. I’m beyond fed up with the censorship and bias of Twitter and Facebook, and I’m not going to stand back and watch as they target us. As a result, I’ve taken an ownership stake in Parler, the hottest social media alternative in the market right now,” Bongino said at the time.
Fellow conservatives, such as Mark Levin and Newt Gingrich, have called on others to give up Facebook and Twitter and move to the platform.
“Hurry and follow me at Parler. I’m trying to encourage as many of you as possible to immediately join me there as I may not stay at Facebook or Twitter if they continue censoring me. And one day, I’ll have left their platforms. Parler is a wonderful alternative and is growing, and we need you there ASAP. It believes in truly open speech. Thank you!” Levin said Sunday morning.
“As Twitter attempts to silence my views and opinions, I invite you to follow me on Parler,” Gingrich said on Thursday.
I just got a message on Parler “Network Timeout It seems that we are eitgher over capacity or you are experiencing a poor network connection.”
They are overcapacity. Well Done Parler!!! Great problem to have. They will fix it.
Opened a Parler account this week.
Screw FB and Twitter
If lukewarm churches had spoken out on what God expects from His people, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Hopefully the “goat” pastors/leaders/evangelists are being recognized by their congregants and followers for what they are.
That will teach the left a lesson. :rolls eyes:
I just opened an account.
@Ricksbeez
Only very stupid corporate management would dare to po 64-74 million buyers/users.
The stupid ones seem to love getting woke, doing something stupid and losing huge marker shares.
The “suppression” of votes was one thing, but the suppression of the peoples candid first amendment rights is entirely another. The “suppression” by the left goes on, but we do have a choice therefore a means to fight back. Parler is one. Free Republic another. Where else is truth, and tolerance of it still revered?
Parler needs an infrastructure upgrade to handle the new traffic. I frequently get “We apologize, there was an issue fetching the feed” when trying to load the page.
Just tried to create an account, explains why i couldn’t get past the “next” button after creating a password
They’d better step it up.
I can’t log in; tried many times.
C’mon, Parler. If you want to take over for Twatter, get your $HIT together.
There are a lot of fake accounts for Don Jr and Candace Owens. They need a way to verify accounts.
facebook is now censoring any mention of Parlier . . .
Amen. Bears repeating. I pray Jesus comes back soon. He will strike unbearable fear into Satan's minions, even among the deepest of the Deep State. They will run, but they can't hide.

True, they are having growing pains, but they will get there. I heard they had 2 million people sign up in one day.

Probably due to the extraordinary growth in user accounts. I’m sure they can scale-up the infrastructure.
Agree! Great problem to have. Hurt Facebook and Twitter where it hurts in their pocket!
Agreed! Just be patient. I am sure they were not expecting these many people to come over at once which is bad news for twitter and Facebook.
