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 have the app plus I’m logged in via Chrome. Seems to be alright in Chrome. App is working now also. Still, it’s buggy and needs some smoothing out.
But seriously, Kaleigh McEnany posts something and I can reply right back? How cool is that!
...and filled us with a terrible resolve.
Joined Parler yesterday, I’m “Always MAGA”
Regroup and attack.
I have a Gab account, but no Parler account. Why would one choose Parler over Gab? Why does it have this buzz currently?
Parler apparently requires your telephone number. Gab does not.
Gab is apparently not overwhelmed now nor in the past.
Just when you think FB couldn't sink any lower.
Just joined.
Signed on laptop , the app on my iPhone isn’t letting me in, it won’t get past the captcha screen.
I enter the captcha and it goes nowhere.
I’ll figure it out....
Is FR on?
In a nod to irony...leftists will have to join to “counter”
those on the right who join which increases membership.
LOL///
Yup
We got a few really foul ones already
But libs can’t meme worth a sh!t, and we meme them into humiliation, mock them away and mostly ignore them !
Parler appears to be overloaded. Hasn’t worked all day.
That’s cuz there is a mass abandonment of Twitter and Facebook and most news apps.
MSM has screwed the gold egg laying pooch and is about to find out just how small their reprobate libcommie world is.
It’s really a John Galt type abandonment of doing business with lib/commie/reprobate MSM culture
You can use the site 2ndvote.com to determine how political or liberal a retailer or service provider is. Then you can choose who you do business with.
All,
Parler has NOT been sold. I assure you, as an owner of the company, that if we sold it, I would know! Parler has exploded. We’re adding thousands of users per minute & were working out the glitches as a result. But don’t buy internet BS rumors from hoaxsters. I own Parler.— Dan Bongino (@dbongino) November 8, 2020
I like the layout of Gab, much better than Parler.
Gad doesn’t seem to have the following, right now, that Parler does.
With these glitches, folks might head to Gab.
I joined both a while back.
I joined Gab before Parler. Not as excited about it as Parler. However, I intend on supporting as many conservative sites as possible.

A “Mass move from Facebook to Parler” on Nov 13 is making the rounds
Could be fun to watch. Or crash. Lol.
Look at their TOS. If they get sued, they can hit you for their attorney’s fees and court costs.
