Should President Trump ditch Twitter and signup to Parler?
Twitter ^ | 29 May 2020 | RandFan

OK This really crosses the line ...

Twitter are now directly censoring Trump's tweets!

Do you think he should give up on Twitter and signup to an alternative like Parler(.com)?

Many banned/shunned conservatives are on that site and it's a very similar platform to Twitter.

If Trump left Twitter and signed up to Parler(.com) he would take many of his 80 MILLION followers with him!

It could be HUGE...

Discuss!

Not true

Plenty of posts current. Mirroring what he posts on Twitter

Maybe you are confused

Parler needs to fix its sign in page. I signed in , made a few posts and now it won’t let me back in . It is messed up. At least I got the Dissenter function to work in GAB. (Dissenter lets you comment on any internet page. It creates a new frame window for a given URL and shows any other comments)

Trump switching to Parler would be dropping a nuke on Twitter.

It would be a Richter Infinity seismic event.

I think Trump is setting the stage for this.

If Trump brought his followers to Parler it would be a game changer.

They probably would be overwhelmed and would need to build capacity to deal with it.

I expect some teething problems...

Yeah it’s not him. Whoever is behind the account is copying and pasting his tweets. It says ‘unofficial’ in the description.

Once Trump leaves twitter and posts on Parler exclusively you will hear it all over the news.

Parler is working perfectly for me. Once in a while it makes me login again, usually if I have not visited in a week or so.

Gab is running WAY better since it was revamped over the past 2 weeks. But given its history, Trump will never post there.

(Facebook would not even let me post a link to this FR thread!)

I agree, but I think it’s do-able.

IMHO, Bongino has been advising Trump about this move.

Trump should get his message out on any methods available. Do both Twitter and competitor. Do all.

I tend to agree but he is making them money... so he should just quit in protest. Many will follow.

If Trump is banned from Twatter, they will lose over 60 million users. Advertisers will walk away and the Twat will be no more.

Question will be whether there is enough time for Trump to do any damage to social media with the election 6 months out?

Twitter left the Tweet up so they didn't censor anyone.

Saying that it advocates violence is a stretch at best. I think that Twitter was looking for any excuse to do something like this to show they are not intimidated by the President's Executive Order.

Not with this Executive Order, no. It's dependent on other Federal Agencies to act and they may or may not. And if they do then the lawsuits will kick in. Real impact to social media is a good year away at best.

I like your thinking, Johnny.

If you can’t get stock in them you could do the other side of the trade — short twitter!

Risky though but I really think Parler are going to give them a run for their money.

FR is the closest thing i come to “social media” and i read most of my second hand “tweets” here.
But i may sign up just to support the effort to destroy? Twitter.
And don’t forget Duck Duck Go And OAN,too!
Little by little we will get there.
