Be careful with Parler. There is a reason why Parler is permitted on App Store and Google Play but Gab isn't.

Parlor is a honey pot through and through. DO NOT USE IT!

I was interested in Parler because I thought it could be another alt tech platform but I didn't like having to register my phone number as part of the registration process. Then I read about them banning people and that was it for me. I am going to say no thanks and stick with Gab!

Their community guidelines are pretty vague at times. I see no reason to participate.

I'll stick to Gab, thanks.
Also, is Parler using your phone to track you?

New untried platform appearing from nowhere claiming to be for free speech but then censoring people? Say it isn't so Parlor! Gosh, NO one saw that coming. :\ :\ OOooh wait. I did.
But I am curious if there's another side to this. It seems obvious from some of those tweets people were just getting on to cause problems. The one guy said "I got banned faster than ANY of my Twitter accounts." Um .. does he make a job outta this? @Sargonofakkad100 @CringePanda

You're required to use your phone number. If you thought this was any different than the others, you're a fool.
Why do they need your number. To sell more worthwhile data of you to advertisers. The advertisers then advertise to you. Advertisers are the censors now. They're the ones who tell these companies so and so isn't profitable because they're "toxic".

any 'free speech' platform that isn't subject to media hit pieces, big tech deplatforming, and demonetization by paypal and other woke payment processors is probably not really for free speech at all imo.

I was almost doxxed on that app Which is why y'all should use VPN

Devils advocate here. We don't know what those communists posted to get banned. They could have been in there posting child porn for all we know. In fact one of them makes reference to porn in his post, claiming Parler is "abusing pornography laws" - whatever that means coming from a communist.

One of the things that bothered me about Parler was the fact that is isn't open sourced. Who knows what kind of data mining is going on in there.

Parler is for people that prefer to be controlled opposition vs. those that just want to speak their minds. Gab is a better fit for the second category.

“if you can say it on the street of New York, you can say it on Parler.” Right now see what you can get fined for saying in NY

Even Gab bans people if they are egregious enough, but they are certainly a lot more wide-open free speech than pretty much any other platform that has a decent base of users. I check out Parler and a lot of other sources to get a wide variety of opinion. Parler seems to work well, but I suspect there is some moderation going on because most of the posts come across as rather bland - I could be wrong though. Still, it is mostly a different crowd on Parler as opposed to Gab. I've been highly supportive of Gab since close the very beginning, but I actually find it encouraging that there are more and more outlets for conservatives (of whatever flavor). Gab has been incredibly resilient, but the way things are going these days, concentrating everyone onto one platform seems inadvisable.

From what I understand they are being flooded with left-wing bots. Bot attack you buy a box of SIM Cards = SIM KIT in the U.S. you can register manually or as Russian bots, do rack them and software registers them and gives the person a handle = name and detail script generator.

Hey Parler, way to make conservatives look every bit the fascists the left accuses them of. I don't know how anyone read the terms of use and still signed up anyway.

I gave up on the whole idea when i saw that a phone was the only way to sign up for an account. Tried using disposable sms numbers but that didn't works so forget it. Glad I did.
Jack8800
Too bad. They had a decent network. My posts don't show up on Gab for day's at a time. Sometimes never.

I will keep my eyes open but Parlor is so far a good resource compared to twitter and facebook. I am sure there is more to these stories that they aren't sharing with us. Some people want to see how far they can push things before they are banned.
I am become Death
Confirmed. Parlor is shit.

Parler requires a phone number to register. I don't want to give that data to them, so it's not for me.
