Sorry, but I don’t trust Parler either. Yes, I know it’s Bongino. I don’t really fully trust any digital things. I trust reality.

A phone call or a real face to face conversation. A letter.

Parler needs to allow everyone to see posts without an account. The idea that you have to give them your phone number, a trackable device, just to see what people are saying is ridiculous.

If you want to have an account and post there, and you're willing to verify your identity, that's fine. But give the public read access to the site just as twitter does.

Edit: Apparently they DO allow public access to user posts. This is gigantic. At the very least the President should setup an account that mirrors his twitter account so everyone can see twitters censorship.

I made an account very early on with them with gab with Twitter even probably the first week they ever existed just to kind of figure it all out. YouTubing since the first month.

However, I don’t use/depend on social media. Only enough to “know thy enemy”. It’s always been pretty clear to me. But I’ve been “digital” for a long time.

born and raised analog! Thank God.

I'm amazed google still hands those out. I used to run a FreePBX system with about a dozen GV numbers but then google killed them off.

Unless somebody provides Parler with the necessary funding and technical support to open up the platform in record time, this is a dead end. Parler is currently a closed platform, requiring people to join and be logged in to read content.

This is huge! It's what put me off Parler at the beginning. GEOTUS should absolutely dump twitter, and then watch their stock plummet.

Trump should have ditched Twitter years ago and gone to free speech platform.

Why not Gab, though? They've done so much with Dissenter and the like.

If you can’t be a lurker, it will never be popular. We need a twitter replacement where you can read stuff without logging in. Parler will never succeed requiring people to login. Period.

I don’t see how. I can’t find a search button. Am I just overlooking it? I’m on ipad. Maybe it’s an issue only on ipad?

Aha! I see. I can duckduckgo parler bongino and then get to his page, and you’re right I can lurk! They really do need to add a search box on the home page so we can easily find people to lurk on, but this is a good start!

Parler needs to be public before I'll sign up.

Parler is trash. You can't even see anything unless you log in, what a stupid idea.

Trump needs to have a mirror account there where everything he posts on twitter is also posted there as well.

Twitter was dying before Trump. If he leaves it will be a dumpster fire. Do it

Trump should never leave Twitter, especially as President.

Retain his Troll Master, Shit Poster in Chief title for all eternity!

This is the way. Kudos to you Maria for taking a stand. I hope Trump gives it some thought. Twitter is not the be all or end all of social media

Parler is trash, you can't see anything posted on it without having an account. If you all leave Twitter you will be giving them what they want.

The government should provide a digital public square that is not controlled by a corporation.

should always have been posting on both Twitter and Parler
