My Parler App on my iphone is not working, and I can’t login through the website. How is this coordinated attack on free speech not a RICO violation?!

Use F-Droid with the Yalp Store.

Yalp Store | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository

“Yalp Store can be installed as a system app to gain background package installation permission. The point of Yalp Store is to be small and independent from Google Services Framework.”

“Version 0.45-legacy (46) suggested Added on 2019-01-29
This version requires Android 2.0 or newer.

It is built and signed by F-Droid,...”

Other alternatives to the Google Play Store include:

Aptoide – An independent marketplace for Android apps.
https://www.aptoide.com/

APKMirror – This is a large library of APK files uploaded by different users (be careful).
https://www.apkmirror.com/

Aurora Store – A fork of the Yalp Store.

"I researched online messaging apps WhatsApp (owned by Facebook), Telegram and Signal. Of the three, my review indicated quite clearly that ‘Signal’ is the best at assuring privacy."

Thanks!

Parler should be able to distribute it’s app directly from its servers. Given they might need to find a service. My service is in ireland.

A comment from a FReeper about Signal. Just a rumor? Maybe. Will check it out. No need to jump to any conclusions.

I’ll check into it along with any alternatives, etc.

Worth a look.

Google Alternatives huge list restore your privacy (8 months ago)
https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogle/comments/g1yu01/google_alternatives_huge_list_restore_your_privacy/

It’s only a little dated. There might be newer, better alternatives. Will keep looking.

Signal might be the best app out there for its purpose. I wasn’t trying to pile negatives on it. Just looking and will look some more. I’m behind on smartphone stuff and will start fiddling with it. Needed to start using a couple of phones with a VPN anyway.

ANy web site can deploy their own software. The app store is just a spot to get most apps. I’ve installed some apps from my PC directly from the owner. OpenCPN which most people wouldn’t want but i put it on my notebook. It’s not in the app store. It is a graphical interface for the NOAA ocean and inland waterway charts. I have designed software that can be downloaded. I actually developed a phone app.

I’m having a hard time on Parler thus evening. Is that because it’s down or because of an uptick in usage.

Is our President on Parler? Can’t find him there...just lots of scam accounts with similar names.

Google is pure evil.

I will post this again. Everyone who uses Google (or Facebook, or Twitter) should see this:

I used to think Google was great. You could find the answer to nearly anything.

What really shook me as it took several years for this to fully sink in, is that there are probably 4 billion computer users on Earth today who view Google as the font of information about...history, politics, science, you name it. And Google has decided it wants to manipulate the thoughts and conclusions of people using its product using the subtle forces of AI, to mold and shape "correct thought" in people.

Bill Whittle did a masterful video recently called The Stolen Election Part II: Stoners and Reptiles

The whole video is worth watching, but his interpretation and presentation of the Big Tech interference in the election is critical. Near the end, if you go to the 14 minute mark of the video, he discusses a video, created for top level Google executives (and meant only for their eyes) that was leaked to the public called "The Selfish Ledger".

Bill Whittle calls it the most frightening thing he has yet seen from the Left, and I agree with him.

It describes how Google views our "ledger" to be compiled by the compilation of our online activities into a "fingerprint" of who and what we are, and likens it to our DNA that identifies us, and how they wish to alter that DNA-like "Ledger" to manipulate people to "think the right way".

Chilling.

I don’t know if he is on. There are a lot of Trump named accounts. Eventually he will appear someplace.

This is what I have said when people say “start your own social network”.

Apple will just block you.

Have to make your own phone.

And your own payment system.

And your own internet.

And then get blacklisted for belonging.
