500,000 people created accounts on the social media platform Parler after Twitter banned two conservative accounts Tuesday.
Parler’s user base increased by 50% this week, bringing the total number of users to over 1.5 million, Mediaite reported Thursday. (RELATED: Jennifer Lawrence Finally Joins Twitter For This One Reason)
The surge comes after Twitter permanently banned the account of Carpe Donktum, and locked the account of The National Pulse Editor-In-Chief Raheem Kassam. Both accounts, which were locked Tuesday, have over 200,000 followers.
Conservatives, who were already frustrated with Twitter for what they say is arbitrary and unfair banning of right-wing accounts, flocked to Parler after the two accounts were suspended. Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz both joined the platform.
Just joined
First and only social media account.
Did so to help the surge along and away from the commie sites
Let freedom RING
Twitter becomes another comments section for DU.
Parler becomes another comments section for the conservative treehouse.
The amazing free speech possibilities of Twitter have been lost...along with value.
What’s you handle? Mine is @Sc29909
Jeez all along I’m thinking something new...
What the H could it be...
Maybe some kind person will ask...
and maybe I won’t be the latest DS.
CF, maybe 1968 was the last time I remember hearing CF. I do remember turning it around to avoid the F word. Fuster cluck.
Could you possibly be a person of advanced age?
Like maybe a Birthday earlier than 1950? Hey, I’m not trying to demean I’m just asking because I am one.
Yes. My biggest problem on Gab was with a Nazis impostor who was an actor at C-ville. The whole thing was a Soros agit prop operation.
What a riot it would be if Trump started cross-posting his tweets in his name at FR as well.
Thanks! Will follow back. OK, followed.
Not sure but I think Dan Bongino bought in as part owner of Parler recently. I’ll check. He was considering it anyway.
Me too @Donnafrflorida2
Yes, it’s true.
“I’ve decided it’s time to fight back against the Tech Tyrants. I’m beyond fed up with the censorship and bias of Twitter and Facebook and I’m not going to stand back and watch as they target us. As a result, I’ve taken an ownership stake in Parler, the hottest social media alternative in the market right now.”
I signed up with Tooter last year, never Tooted, only occasionally go there to read the President’s Toots. After reading this last night, I tried to Cancel myself but couldn’t find a way to clear my name from the rolls.
I’m trapped like a rat in the Tooter vat.
I’ll just stay off and away, that’ll have to be good enough.

I got in last night. Their servers must be overwhelmed.
Have they gone public yet?
I heard it was a DZ to get into.
I signed up for Parler about a year ago but never used the account until a few days ago.
I like it a lot. Got suspended from Twatter the other day for calling Jim Acosta a slu$. I find it very easy and am following peeps who have been kicked off Twitter like Laura Loomer, CarpeDonktun,Katie Hawkins,Raheem etc. Now is the time to mobilize without censorship. Big Time
