I'd been thinking of signing up but the phone number requirement put me off.

Iirc you also have to provide a photo ID if you want certain features like messaging and such. Can't confirm though, I don't use Parler.

Red flags galore.

I think you need photo id if you are trying to be an "influencer" or some shit, or like promoting a product or software, either way when I saw the phone, and id type requirements I didn't even bother looking into the platform.

I have seen retards on reddit...I think the sub is parlerwatch..posting screen shots and finding peoples facebook accounts and linking them up. Not sure why parler users thought it would be a good idea to post certain things that can be linked back to them irl.

I thought the same thing. No way I'm giving them my phone number.

Anyone with 2 brain cells knew Parler was not to be trusted since there was no establishment push back against them.

Compare and contrast what happened with Gab.

  • Blew up overnight.
  • Intense astroturfing campaign, the only one I've even seen here on .win.
  • No establishment pushback.
  • Shady signup requirements.

And that's before you find out it's slow as hell and parlays can't even be shared publicly because of the signup page.

The only thing it had going for it was Bongino supporting and claiming an ownership stack, and honestly, it's eroded my trust in Dan as I become ever more suspicious of the site.

Remember Gab being taken down over a fake shooting? I do. Gab is probably 100% legit due to the world wide persecution

No, but everything that isnt atleast somewhat moderated turns into 4chan.

I'm not shitting on 4chan, I use the website myself, but you dont want your socialmedia to become 4chan because then 99.9% of the people that are online wont use it

Man the amount of fake news about Parler is crazy. You only need to give personal info if you want to be verified or influencer status.

I just joined Gab... and I already think it is a LOT better than Parler! Hopefully I'll still think the same, after using it for a while...

Honestly - it's just another place to go where you can say things. If it's gets shitty and starts censoring or something, then you can leave. Until then, what's the big damn deal?

ChynaBiden 11 points ago +15 / -4

The comments against Parler is for sure being posted by Twatter cucks. There's been bunch of articles from establishment attacking Parler

5
Isolated_Patriot 5 points ago +5 / -0

Can you post some? The reason I don't trust parler is because I haven't seen establishment pushback on parler. Particularly the lack of blocking them in app stores and shutting down payment processors like happened to Gab.

Parler is just a giant dox farm waiting to be harvested. Never mind that using it is just submitting to Neocon censorshit instead of commie censorshit. OOoooH maybe i can go over to Gab and sumbit to Jesus censorshit.

All of these platforms are shit and no one actually respects free speech, no matter what they claim.

Gab was always better- the Gab owner truly hates the mainstream system yet doesn't underestimate them.

Gab should be the goto. if you don't like they don't allow porn you're a fucking degen.

notenoughbutts 4 points ago +4 / -0

It's always been a means of tying people to a phone number for doxing/gathering mass lists of people, especially those who identify as conservative.

Honey pot much?

WishdoctorsSong 4 points ago +4 / -0

Yeah, it really seemed odd that right about the time Twitter started pushing conservatives out that all the hype was Parler, despite Gab's existence and consistent free speech message.

Dieselslacker 3 points ago +3 / -0

I'm just going to chill right here, if I need to talk to someone, I'm probably already in contact with. Truthfully, I could give two shits about everything else. The election is far more important than anything else.

It's the Donald or war, for me. When this site says all good, I'll go to new social media.

3
WishdoctorsSong 3 points ago +3 / -0

I can get behind this. Frankly the entire interaction model of Twitter and all the clones makes 0 sense. Even in some world where we had a perfectly anonymized, decentralized, Mastadon-like Twitter clone, I'd still look at that and think why on earth does this thing need to exist?

Pedeville 0 points ago +1 / -1

Because Gab is muh racism and anti muh jews

IntrepidBurger 3 points ago +4 / -1

Ron is great for his investigative stuff but he's off base here. Parler is mostly owned by Dan Bongino, one of Trump's biggest cheerleaders. He wouldn't run a compromised org.

More likely it's just playing into existing disinfo about alternative conservative outlets, to prevent things like the T_D exodus from happening.

"Parler is compromised" doesn't mean that it IS compromised, it means that it may as well be bc of the verification system. Whether that's true or not, I don't know.

Parler is loads above Twitter.

Sapphire2Sea 3 points ago +3 / -0

This explains why I could never get past Parler's incessant captchas. I gave up on it after two separate attempts to set up an account. The fact they require a phone number to register is a big tell

EchoLight 2 points ago +2 / -0

I "deleted" my account a few months ago, only to discover that they retain my email address and quite probably my phone number. I sent them several emails asking them about what other information they retain and to completely purge their systems of all of my data, but all replies are bot-copy-paste replies with ZERO human input.

WhiskeyRebellion 1 point ago +1 / -0

Parler has some serious issues and they all come down to transparency and integrity, as Ron (who I'm personally not a fan of but hey) is alluding to. I'm pretty sure if Parler was legit DJT would have adopted it, he'd be privy to the clearest reasons not to. I'm not a fan of Gab either but at least it appears Andy's just a hustler with his heart in more or less the right place as long as his wallet's there too.

You can probably prove they have shadow banning in place simply by the number of followers a user has VS views a post has, since Parler activity is Feed Based but I am not a mathematician nor have the patience to try

Honestly Ron Code Monkey sounds like he is stuck in the 2000s 4chan culture. He seriously made a "Tits or Gtfo" post to a journalist like that shit is cool? Has he actually accomplished anything or is he just another talker?
