Who wants to be somebody’s “follower”?
That’s kind of degrading.
Followers end up in Guyana drinking kool-aid.

Thanks for posting. I joined a number of them.
I’m already onboard with some of them. Thanks for the list. Except for Hannity. :)
My son and daughter-in-law were Patriot_Couple on Instagram, which they deleted last night. They had ~20k followers, which is tiny compared to the big names. But they are awesome, love the Lord, love Trump, and all things conservative.

chickensoup has a red badge and is verified.
Not an influencer but it is pure chicken
You left out Praying Medic.
Some kind of tutorial on using it would be helpful. Never on Twitter or Facebook. Have nothing for reference.
Opened an account but see no pathway to edit profile or change the public name.
Now that I’ve got it, still not clear on what to do with it.

There are also blue badges for Rss, usually news websites and I presume their parler feed gets populated via their website’s RSS feed.
There are also red/magenta badges that say “verified” when you hover over them.
Gray badges for “private”.
Mine is purple for “Integration” which I never tried to get. They just gave it to me and I’m not sure what it even means. Looking at it under settings>badges it says Parler Partner. Might be because me email with them is for web design, has “webdesign” in it.
Easy way to build up a list of people to follow is by finding big names and seeing who they follow. Just go to the person’s profile and click “Following”. Here’s Eric Trump’s follow list; https://www.parler.com/profile/EricTrump/following - When/if DJT gets on parler, I’m sure Eric will follow him. Only Trump names he follows is Women for Trump, Trump Winery and Students for Trump.
Based on who you’re following already, parler always a list on the right side with suggestions on who else to follow.

Thank you. INFOPOST
Mostly, I just echo Matt, Dinesh, Levin, etc...
Yes the proliferation of fake accounts is a big turn off. It was seem to be in their best interest to clean that mess up. They should not allow someone to use someone else’s name or likeness without explicit written permission.
Read later.
Thanks.
