Just heard of this yesterday. Apparently folks fed up with FaceBook and Twitter censorship and mind control. Parler is The new social media hang out. I just setup my profile @RichardMJackson. Supposedly a mass exodus from FB and Twit on November 13 to Parler.
What does the OT think about it?

I heard something about it as well. Folks tried of the their one sided BS censorship policies.

Would be concerned that FB, Google, or some other entity just buys them out.

I don't tweet, so I doubt I would parler.

Don't worry, you will still have FB and Twitter as your safe place.

Facebook and Twitter didn’t censor content when they first started either, so I’m sure if Parker takes off (which I’m not sure it will) and doesn’t get the pants sued off of it by Twitter, because right now it’s just a barely-functioning carbon copy of Twitter, they will eventually start to censor speech. It’s the only way to get funding and make revenue.
I hope I’m wrong, but that’s how you grow a social media company, because eventually you need to make money. And they need to figure the functionality out. And it looks ugly.
Other than that, I support it in theory and hope it takes off.

From what I’ve seen so far it’s not user friendly

Never have tweeted and very rarely ever go to Facebook anymore. So, no.....on the parler. I can live a life without all the social media debbils.

My phone is full and I would have to delete TikToc to make room for Parler. That ain't happening.
