Don't do twitter, don't do this either, but I like the idea - https://home.parler.com/

I set up a Twitter account a few years ago using one of my “junk” email accounts. I tweeted three or four times and that was it. I’ve never been back.

I wish President Trump would leave Twitter. They’d go bankrupt. Maybe he needs to hear about this.

If it was not for our President, I would have dropped twitter months ago.

[[and many are saying it is the next logical move for those who wish to do so freely without fear of being silenced.]]

We’ll see how long anti-islam, anti-gay folks are allowed to post on there- If they don’t infact sensor such voices- then the site will likely become like a similar one not long ago where it turned into a vile racist, anti-Semetic anti-US hatefest that noone really wanted to be a part of-

But we’ll see-

I monitor twitter but don’t really tweet. I’ve downloaded this one as well today, but I think they are still struggling with all the increased bandwidth/capacity.

There’s another one called Voat that is supposed to be a replacement for Reddit for the same reasons as I understand.

I signed up for Twitter because of Jimmy Fallon’s funny segment requiring tweets. But since his show is now unwatchable, I have no need to tweet.

I went there. It says "Download Plugin". I think I'll pass. Whitelisting unnecessary active content in regular sites is bad enough.

You not have to be a member of Twitter to see Trump’s tweets.

Just click outside the signup popup and it will let you continue.

Of course, you cannot forward stories or get notified of new tweets.

All the normal people will continue to use Twitter and the new site Parler will be used only by kooks and malcontents like Proud Boys, Alex Jones, and Laura Loomer

The Trump Organization should create their own platform called Trumper

President Trump goes on it, and he will get millions of new users in months.

President Trump would use with Twitter, but set it up so Trumper would get the news first and them relayed onto Twitter 5 minutes later. That would be smart.

Twitter would be dead in a year if he did that.

No!!! It will take years for Parler to reach the user count of Twitter, if ever. On Twitter Trump can reach a much wider audience, one that needs to hear his side of things. Plus he is the one guy that the twits running Twitter dare not censor.

A sketchy media outlet that leans lefty is boosting a new outlet for conservatives?

I’ll pass.

Yep.

The pattern is that a committment to free speech will allow Jew-haters and true racists to drive rational users away.

Hope they establish clear rules and enforce them.

Good idea.

What about this name, though:

Trump It

Personally, I don’t think we should restrict the 1st Amendment to just Jews and whites.
