I remember seeing something like what you describe as the 4chan post, but don't have a copy of it or link. Can you post it here?

Parler's app was clearly buggy and their signin process was wonky. Remember getting 'Network error' so many times?

I think its possible Parler was hacked long before their deplatforming. If they were using a shared secret or secret key in the app to access the api, someone could have captured that, reverse engineered their apis, and walked their data set with it, even before the yuge backend data dump.

We know that at least some of it was planned and coordinated.

Georgia SOS getting sued in mid-2020 to erode their vote validation coincided with Facebook and other big tech spending millions of dollars to get directly involved with election officials and the ballot drop boxes.

We also know Biden's team was creating Red Mirage advertisements; the Trump Campaign published a letter of their discovery of it a day or two after the election. The Red Mirage videos were to tell the public why the landslide on election day was gone the next day.

You might also recall Zuckerberg et al talking in 2017 about how they were going to 'fix' (i'll generously interpret that as improve rather than cheat) the next selection. It was in reference to all the social media posts on their platforms they didn't like, but their 'fix' seems to have evolved into an unamerican monster of censorship, at a minimum.
