I've been trying for the past week to try to create an account and can't get past the captcha, or it keeps "timing out" or it says to enter my phone# and then gets frozen on that screen.
I've emailed Parler and get a form email back saying they're really busy, and never heard more from them.
Does anybody know any tricks as to how to bypass these issues?
Yes, it's required. I won't join until they drop that.
Exactly. Why do they need our phone numbers? They don't. Sorry Mr. Bongino. I love you, but not giving you my phone number.
