Always enjoy when engineers attempt a swing-and-a-miss. Because you can never laugh enough.

Parler is simply going to go for damages now, they've done the oppo cost of rebuilding. The site had that van-down-by-the-river feel all along.

Meanwhile Y3llowbeard, who has the ultimate distributed app with thousands of illegal self-hosters, criticizes Parler for having to have legit legal hosts, while missing the fine point of Parler's legal strategy altogether. LOFL.

Parler was the invention of an intelligent, young man. He should not be excoriated for the lack of assistance by those pounding their chests.

>> van-down-by-the-river

LOL — few if any sketches rival that one.

Parler could have easily “come alive” elsewhere. I figured that didn’t happen in order to facilitate the damages/injury angle.

There’s nothing new under the sun.

Gab. They got shut down like Parler but bounced back with their own servers.

Well, that didn't happen overnight for them.

For Parler, it's been less than a week.

Let's give them sometime.

Also, I don't know why so many conservatives are kicking them when they're down.

They were basically gang raped by Big Tech.

In the end, it was Big Tech, who just don't want a notch on their gun for Parler, but for ALL of us.

Bongino said specifically that they were not hacked.

kickasstorrents had become the big one but got taken down and fbi got the guy running it. After that, most went away voluntarily except for the piratebay.org which I still use.(for no copyrighed material of course - I wouldn’t think about taking revenue from the fine people in hollywood)

Thanks for your post. A lot of people here believe they are so much smarter and seem to have an unreasonable dislike for young Mr. Matze. What happened and is happening to him is horrible and he should have conservative’s support and we should be outraged.

He’s right. Parler was very naive and foolish to ever trust Big Tech. Just seeing how they collude to try to destroy anybody on the Right or anybody who advocates free speech (Alex Jones and Gab) should have shown them that.

I hope Parler has learned it’s lesson and will soon be back up and running like other victims of Big Tech persecution before them. I also hope everybody who is not a raving leftist lunatic takes notes. You cannot trust Big Tech - for anything. That’s the takeaway here.

I haven’t been able to get onto Parler this week. Is it that way for everyone?

This is what I’ve been getting when I try to go to Parler.com:

“Hmmm… can’t reach this pageIt looks like the webpage at https://parler.com/ might be having issues, or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.”

Does anyone know what’s going on?

I had no idea just how weak the security at Parler was.

The Titans of Tech may have done us a huge favor.

“Bongino said specifically that they were not hacked.”

Bongino helped get Parler off the ground and was a minority owner. He has been talking about setting up right wing alternative media for a few years.

Some people just enjoy piling on for effect.

They get kicked all the time, and enjoy it when they can kick someone else regardless of who or why.
