It was a "trap" from the get go. "Cell number required" to set up an account? Millions used their real numbers. Where and how are those stored? Who has access to those records?

If the FBI came pounding on their door (threatening prison time) would Parler roll over and just hand over your info? The consensus says YES!

Not only this, but you had to take a picture of your ID to get a Verified badge.

I used a fake number to sign up, it was a bit of a pain.

But deleting my account was surprisingly easy.

Parler comes back

Gab mysteriously goes down after over a month of stability and seemingly having their act together

Parler gets tons of MSM coverage while Gab is ignored, basically advertised for free

Nothing shady here at all.

If you’ve visited the Gab site, you’d have read that Gab went down briefly for an admin reason. Gab had made the decision to go offline. Gab called out fake news for not contacting Gab to get the truth before writing their news stories.

Parler is a FBI honeypot

Parler = the FBI's Trump supporter database

Be very careful what you say there if you say anything at all. I'm finding it is only good for a viewing resource and not to participate given the number of people having posts removed and censored.

It was a trap the first time around. All of their data already got leaked through their bullshit hack story. It's a honeypot meant to tie real names to white nationalism. It will get used.

Parler account deleted today. Not worth the hassle.

Should have just spun up that Pleroma instance, centralization is always a trap.

We need to avoid this site like the plague. Or Covid 19.

That logo is basically the same symbol as the Israeli sheckle.

How is Bongino a sellout? I've been listening to him regularly and I've only heard common sense and passion from him.

Since when does FOX pay for that? He's either a limited hangout or a grifter. Fuck him. Parler is a creation of the Mercers who were caught before stealing & selling data in 2016. He knew this and still got on board.

I was finally able to delete my account, after trying several times a day since it was relaunched. Feels good MAN. <--- Am I sexist for that?

They already did. I get porno group messages 3-6 times a day now. After 25 years I have to change my phone number.

Call me crazy but this strikes me as more gaslighting.

Parler is currently run by the Convention of States guy. That is, the guy who is trying to get term limits in congress. He's been around a while. He is not a "shill".

You don't have to like or use Parler. They have problems. So does Gab. But the random stuff people are claiming is bullshit.

Also... Phone number is not required. When you go to register, it says "phone number or email". But a lot of "private" services use it for verification. I am not sure what started that.

Most of Parler bashing can be traced directly back to Gab CEO Andrew Torba who relentlessly spreads these baseless smears on his site. He's so angry and covetous that no serious high profile conservatives will go on platform that he's feeds these lies to his army of shills who then post it here and elsewhere. We're all supposed to believe that Don Trump Jr, Eric Trump, Crowder, Mark Levin, Bongino, Maria Bartiromo, Rand Paul, Seb Gorka, Richard Grenell, Tim Fitton, etc etc, who are all on Parler and not Gab are all deep state honeypot sellouts. It's so pathetic and trashy but people gobble it up without a hint of skepticism.

Pretty much this. I respect what Gab is trying to do, but I wish they'd stop acting so butt hurt over the competition. Especially since Gab has the upper hand now.

No it’s not! Quit spreading crap like this. Go check out Glenn Becks interview with the acting CEO. We need to support conservative protected social media sites in parler is one of the first ones. https://youtu.be/ae4K09c5P2o
