Parler, the self described "world's premier free speech platform", has banned links to The Donald.

A few quotes from their website:

Speak freely and express yourself openly, without fear of being “deplatformed” for your views.

real conversation on the world's premier free speech platform

Whatever you’d rather not see on your profile or feed, we give you the tools you need to do your own “shadow-banning” — while still leaving everyone else free to decide for themselves what they wish to see on their profiles and feeds.

We do not curate your feed; we do not pretend to be qualified to do so. We believe only you are qualified to curate your feed, and so we give you the tools you need to do it yourself.

If you hand them your phone number to sign up, then try to post a link to The Donald, you'll get a "URL has been restricted" popup, which goes against what they claim to stand for - and is a step that not even Twitter has taken.

As a result, we'll be banning links to Parl-- just kidding. #1A

Parler is a honeypot, it’s designed to quarantine conservatives from Twitter. You need to confirm accounts with your personal information, and you can only view posts if you have an account. Use Gab instead
