Best to maintain an account with Gab, Telegram and others and see how Parler operates from now on.
Sounds like someone who is just taking a shot at the competition. Understandable.
Torba’s comments are a little disturbing. He acts as though there are too many players on the basketball court. Makes him appear small and petty.
I signed up on both. Parler is a user Unfriendly mess, and it was down for too long when it was most critically needed. Gab is very user friendly, but was horribly slow at first, yet has improved every week, despite the influx of new users.
Competition is good.
I deleted the APP last week.....I’m not wasting my time. Good luck!
Rumors of Parler’s return are greatly exaggerated. parler.com is not reachable. as of 0922 MST.
Since it was something coming from Gab, I’m surprised he didn’t blame the Jews.
Mark Meckler. Where have I heard that name, before?
I was using Parler until they got yanked and then I switched to Gab. Yes competition is good but censoring by leftist bullying is criminal. Hoping Gab replaces Zuckebook and Parler replaces Jacksquat’s leftards Twitter.
Gab has worked out well for me, along with Telegram.
I’d like to learn more about what Parler is doing to avoid another shutdown before going back.
Thank God these platforms are finding a way to break through the censorship brigade..
It’s really alarming to see what’s happening on Twitter and FB..TOTAL lockdown on free speech that doesn’t cow tow to the “100% far left, all the time” viewpoint of the day.
If you’re: a) white; b) patriotic; c) Christian; d) support Trump and/or don’t just parrot the “approved” mantra of the far left, you’re at high risk of being banished - possibly forever - from Twitter. FB less so, but check THIS out..
Saw an article the other day that FB is going to introduce AI algorithms that will automatically determine if content you post is “political” in any way. If so, they won’t necessarily flag or label it - they just won’t display it in other people’s feeds. Basically, you’ll apparently get NO notice whatsoever that whatever you posted has gone into the digital never, never land..
This total lockdown on free speech (and presumably, anything critical of the Biden/Harris “regime”) should terrify the blue blazes out of everyone. Communist China literally has more actual “free speech” than we seem to have nowadays.
So, thank God that Parler is coming back - and that Gab and Telegram appear to be thriving. We need all the alternatives to Twitter and FB we can get.
So Mr Torba, Dan Bongino is “establishment”? Really?
I’ve got a parler account but I’m not going to bother going back. Pretty pathetic being down for a month no matter the circumstances.
I could care less what the political talking heads have to say. I’ll read the headlines here but other than that, I’m done with politics. Probably done with voting too. Seems like a mute point when someone else is going to decide anyway.
Torba is BASED. no doubt
Parler requires a phone number to sign up, which they won’t get from me. And historically they’ve run scripting from google on their site. (Analytics, etc, visible by using NoScript in your browser) I don’t trust that.
Today I see that Parler is just running script from YouTube (at least when I’m not logged in), which is technically Google anyway.
Gab runs scripting from gab. It’s their own servers. I trust Gab 10x more than Parler, and infinitely more than Google or any other avowed leftists.
The Twitter purge, followed by assault against Parler, was a double hit that enormously benefited Gab. Andrew Torba’s decision to go it alone, especially with respect to web hosting services, paid big dividends. He has good reason to be proud his independence.
But IMHO Parler still has a good business model and will learn from the mistake of relying on AWS. I don’t see anything wrong with having an angel investor, e.g. Rebekah Mercer, so long as she remains dedicated to the project. In fact, her wealth and dedication might have saved the Parler, giving it a financial bridge after AWS pulled the plug.
Torba trashing the Mercers is BS. I expect better from Torba.
Right now Gab is my go-to platform of choice. But I will maintain accounts on Parler and the others. Don't forget about YouTube alternative Rumble, they deserve our support as well although YouTube still has a thousand times more content. Through our support of Rumble, that will eventually change.
People might say "why social media at all - why 'follow' people on social media?"
Well since I cut cable, social media is where I get all my news (including Free Republic). I like to follow patriots and other reputable sources of news that are not owned by the Chinese and the communists.
I found out about the huge Trump rally in FL today through this social media. You think this is being reported on CNN or Fox?
