Parler Is a Trap. Stay away!

He tells how you need to give them a selfie and a drivers license scan in order to direct message.

They can delete anything anytime they want even without reason.

Account deletion by email only. And forced arbitration

Terms of service can be changed any time without notification to users.

If one of your posts leads to legal action against them then you agree to pay all legal fees.

They may have the right to use the information in the contact lists of your devices.

Then we have the obvious:

"Are millions of Conservatives being led into a new Conservative ghetto from which they will become completely invisible to the outside world?"

"It's brilliant if this was an actual strategy. Get the Conservatives to SILENCE themselves outside a bubble to promote 'free speech'."

"We retreat in the culture war into a silo where we all talk to people who already agree with us."

"Any Conservatives who retreated behind the Parler login wall and abandoned their accounts on this platform is now invisible for the upcoming election."

[Revel]

As long as Parler remains a sealed back room then Trump will never voluntarily leave twitter. I don’t care about his hint. He was just trying to dig at twitter. He won’t leave. The moment he did so then his voice would be gone from most of the world. And Trump is not such a fool as that.

Rand is using both.. So are the other Members of Congress.

It goes hand in hand.

It’s only a matter of time until Trump starts posting there IMO especially with twitter censoring his messages. He will get mad with them soon enough.

[mass55th]

Well then, I’m sure that Sidney Powell, or any of the other lawyers who are verified on Parler would be more than willing to represent me or anyone else if any legal proceedings came about. I never joined Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, none of them. I prefer not having to compromise my values, kiss anybody’s ass, or take the knee to have an account on Twitter or any of the others. I got banned for life from UK Daily Mail for speaking the truth. I’m a 72 year old woman. I wouldn’t last a day on Twitter, which is fine with me.

[DannyTN]

So the choice is to stay on Twitter and have your voice censored.

Or to leave Twitter and try to build momentum elsewhere to crush Twitter.

I say Crush

Crush Crush Crush Crush Crush

So we should just allow ourselves to be run off the Twitter platform and made to setup camp in a backwater echo chamber that nobody ever visits?

Done right, it can be an asset.

I'm on FR, which could be considered an echo chamber. From FR I get material which I cross-post to other sites which are NOT echo chambers. Similarly, Parlar can be treated as a place for conservatives to share memes and info, and copy to Twitter and elsewhere.

[Newbomb Turk]

I signed up for P. No license scan required. Twitter is nervous and should be.

I wouldn't ge too nervous about the terms of service. Read the Twitter terms service. The change every month.

If you want to be blue checked like on Twitter, that takes an I.D. I'm not that famous.

[SmokingJoe]

I have no idea. I have never been on social media unless you consider FR as social media.
However, I check Twitter often to read President Trump’s tweets and I noticed that the first people to respond to his tweets in great force are Trump haters. I think they are paid to trash Trump 24/7.
However on Twitter you can just view the tweets without looking at the responses. Not sure if it's the same on Parler. Parler could do the same whereby responses don't show up by default.
The point is, Twitter is part and b parcel of the Democratic Party. They are going to wage an all out jihad against Trump as the elections get closer.
Trump himself said a couple of days ago in that Federalist interview that he thinks Twitter will ban him before the elections.
If you know someone is gunning for you, you take em out first. Why wait till they ban him just two weeks before the election?

[Revel]

I have never been a member of twitter either. But I can still read what others post there.

[SunkenCiv]

Since I was talking about Twitter, way to miss the point. You hate Parler, and love Twitter, I think we all get it.

[Newbomb Turk]

Yo only need an I.D. if you want to be verified (Blue Check) like the Hollywood stars do in Twitter. I’m not that famous so I just have a normal profile.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Newbomb Turk!

[Revel]

Content on FR is not private. You don’t have to be a member to read the content here. Jim was way to smart to do something foolish like that.

[RandFan]

Yes this is often discussed as a problem and the owner has said they will be public one day but for now I think he wants to keep out bots and trolls so you need this lengthy process to sign up.

[FightforFreedomCA]

It’s optional. If you want to be verified, you can scan and get an SMS. Otherwise, you don’t have to do it.

[SmokingJoe]

“In response to a question on whether he expects to soon be banned by Twitter — where he has over 82 million followers — Trump said: “Yes, I do.”

The president believes the ban from the popular platform will happen in the fall before the 2020 election, an opinion shared by others in the White House. For Trump and those close to him, Twitter’s reaction to two recent tweets — including one where he warned rioters against breaking the law — are being taken as warning shots.”

” Since I was talking about Twitter, way to miss the point. You hate Parler, and love Twitter, I think we all get it.”

You are just making things up. I don’t love twitter. I like one thing about Twitter. That I can read it without being a member. Just like maybe a majority of the people do. I despise the people who run it.

I have always respected you for your great postings about archaeological finds. If you post it then I check it out. I never would have guessed that you would resort to just making up Diggs to try and win arguments. Very disappointed.

[SmokingJoe]

“Some people say I should join Parler,” Trump said. “Maybe. We do have over 194 million followers, though, across multiple sites.”

We have the most important election ever in 4 months. I don’t think that we can wait for someday.
