Trump has a ton of gravity.

His people will follow him, because they like him. The press will follow him because it is their job. The haters will follow him because they love screaming at him.

Trump has the power to instantly legitimize and empower any twitter competitor.

As a successful and savvy businessman, I'm sure Trump knows this. He could crush Twitter in one fell swoop by declaring he's moving to Parlor and then never posting another Twitter post. Why doesn't he do it?

He has his reasons. Probably to force them to keep censoring him so he can crush them in a different way.

Maybe what GEOTUS could do is to create a Parler account and post the same content on twitter and Parler, for a few weeks.

Then, for the next few weeks, post half and half. That forces the media to follow him on Parler, because they'll want that content to make up their stories.

He will start getting followers on Parler.

Then just post more and more on Parler, and less and less on twitter. His spiciest and most "controversial" stuff can be on Parler, because that forces MSM and looney lefties to read it, on Parler.

Parler is a closed platform. They've given users the ability to share a link to their own original post, but not the threads, and not re-posts form other users as far as I know. Posting something on Twitter makes it 100% public, it comes up in search engine results (even if years old), and the tweet (or retweet) with the entire accompanying thread can be linked anywhere for anyone to click on and see.

Yeah so how do you get people to see your Parler profile and join you if you can't share it publicly? I've been using it for a few days but I think it's dumb that I can't share a link to my profile (even just a limited view that says "join this person to see their posts").

Yes, there are direct links to profiles. This is me: https://parler.com/profile/Dreyfus

The hug of death. Parlor would grind to a halt or their AWS bill would be off the charts.

Really all Trump has to do is say "I am imploring and asking that all Conservatives move and start an account with X. So that we aren't silenced." And it will happen. Heck .win if they wanted too (though I think they should wait till we are Top 100) could become a new reddit. Back in the early 2000s Digg sided with Corporations (the baddies at the time) over organic free speech and so everyone moved to reddit. Now the baddies are the leftist who have been co-opted by big corporations and Chyna, and they have silenced organic free speech on reddit. So everyone (smart and clever) moved here.
