Probably to help keep out the kind of Nazi spam that infects gab/bitchute - gotta say I took a look around and there's some heavy hitters on there. Just signed up and spent about the last half hour on there following people I thought were memory-holed
Its another opportunity for doxing. Furthermore, who's to say these guys won't build up a huge user base, then sell it? Terms of Service aren't set in stone.
Just say you're not giving them your phone number, then, don't search 2FA and assume the first two things you find are drop-in replacements for SMS challenges.
This method of authentication is called 0auth and very common. Surprised they didn't go with that but I guess if you're trying to make a statement that you're not going to be like big tech and sell people's data that it would be impossible to do so if you relied on big tech to authenticate your users.
Dual authentication is not a reason for data mining through the app, nor is it reason for an essentially free-for-all TOS on data privacy. Too many people are being too trusting after the BS privacy practices we’ve been seeing.
This came out of nowhere fast, and honestly, just because a platform starts conservative, doesn’t mean it stays that way. The 4th amendment doesn’t deserve to be disregarded just because shiny conservative celebrities are on a platform.
If you are going to use it, use all fake information, and don’t install the app!
Twatter wanted me to beg them for forgiveness for a non-vulgar, political view over two years ago. I told them to fuck-off back then, and will laugh as they fall to the sewer with all the media that restricts free speech!! The list keeps on coming.
So my text verification failed, and it won’t resend, and it’s telling me I’ve already used the email and phone for a different account when I try to log in...
I signed up. It is great not seeing toxic Eugene Gu and another other douche canons on there they magically get upped on the list.
If Trump joined Parler, twitter would only have a bunch of libturd's in an echo chamber left on there. It's good to have thedonald and Parler as a backup free speech platform.
Honestly who knows what the fuck to believe with Parlor. Who knows what to believe anywhere. You go one place they tell you Parlor is a honey pot. You go another place they tell you this site was funded by Reddit. You go another place and you get a completely different story. The decks are all stacked somewhere. Nothing is for free. Nothing is fully authentic. Pick your poison and don’t do anything too stupid like blatantly dox yourself with photos of your address or phone.
Parlor is a random phone call with a stranger. Parler is a twitter replacement. Just to clear that up.
As for accusations of honeypots, no. That's FUD and I downvote it whenever I see it. The kind of big-name people I see on Parler were never seen on Gab or Voat.
You make a good point. I tried out VOAT and it was exactly what Reddit accused the_donald of being. A bunch of racists and anti-semites and hateful shit. I went on Gab a little but it never could capture my attention.
Well, that depends. The liberals would have to get in control of the company itself, and not merely post there, in order to ruin it.
Remember, we're not like them. We're not against free speech, dialogue, or hell, even arguments! This is the internet after all. What happened to openly joking and mocking people for the fun of it? I remember back when Ray William Johnson would crack jokes about how every video he uploaded was ridiculed by being called "fake and gay." It was great!
Liberals choosing to post there would have to deal with dissenting opinions. Their worst nightmare! I say bring it on.
Have been Parler for a while, was glad when Dan Bongino announced he is now a partner / investor in Parler. Good to know it has conservatives in a leadership role.
I signed up today. It felt good man. Not as good as when I left Reddit, but hopefully Twitter will end up in the dumpster.
I see thedonald.win as a great example. So happy with it, and its much better than r/the_donald anyway.
I'm hardly ever on reddit anymore. It's full of snowflakes.
sticky
They need to switch to something like "Sign in with Apple" instead of phone number to get people onboard.
Yeah it's been wonderful and the more pedes that show up the conservative voice with build.
They require a PHONE NUMBER?
Lol, nah...
Actually considering getting back into social media now with parler. Maybe even a financial investment.
Show stopper for me, too.

Such as?
OK, walk me through how I sign up for Parler with Duo.
Just say you're not giving them your phone number, then, don't search 2FA and assume the first two things you find are drop-in replacements for SMS challenges.
Its to fight against bot farms.

Still don't see why a phone # can't be optional.
Fair point. Only problem with phone number is that there is a possibility of a data breach and your phone number getting leaked.
Yeah, no way I'm giving them my #, get enough spam calls as is.
That's... Not any better.

They want you to be a real person not a bot. It keeps bots out. You can still use whatever name you want.

No, screw Apple!

That P.S. is fire about selling data.
Why do you have to enter your phone number? That's bullshat
(Random area code) 867-5309
They make an automated verification call with a code number.
Yeah it's a text - i just did it
So my text verification failed, and it won’t resend, and it’s telling me I’ve already used the email and phone for a different account when I try to log in...
I tried. They are going to send you a verification code.
Use a Google number?
Great idea. Thanks
Yeah, ah well. Could it really be worse than twatter, gargle, or farcebook? I signed up
867 630 niii-ee-iiine
They need to switch to something like "Sign in with Apple" instead of phone number to get people onboard.
Why the fuck is connecting it to someone else's database better?
Yea they need a phone number to sign up.
Gonna be a no from me dog
They need to open up the ability to read content without an account.
I signed up. It is great not seeing toxic Eugene Gu and another other douche canons on there they magically get upped on the list.
If Trump joined Parler, twitter would only have a bunch of libturd's in an echo chamber left on there. It's good to have thedonald and Parler as a backup free speech platform.
yeah it looks promising- just checked it out

Sure, but it wasn't linked to my real identity aka phone number.
I hear you there !
I bet you're the life of the party. 🥳
I guess you have all the answers? Enlighten me
I like checking funnies in Parler #memes
What about no doing social media ? Since it exist, world turned to shit with brainless idiot sharing their stupid useless life.
Bring back forum, bring back Web 1.0 ! No more retardation and whoring..
To be fair, social media only really started screwing everything up when the corps put their hands on the scales.
Haven't been on social media since 2011.
Nice.
Lil' asslicker Jackie...was that a bitch-slap I heard? I think that was a bitch slap!
What is Parler's business model?
y does it want muh phone# =/
Slam dunk!
and there goes any Monopoly case against Twitter.
Watching Twitter slowly go the way of MySpace could also be quite satisfying.
What’s to say the liberals don’t just join Parler and ruin it to ?
Well, that depends. The liberals would have to get in control of the company itself, and not merely post there, in order to ruin it.

Holy fuck
@RohdKill - Follow and I will follow! Loving Parler!
Twexit!!
Ha. Twexit.
Anyone remember Friendster?
Have been Parler for a while, was glad when Dan Bongino announced he is now a partner / investor in Parler. Good to know it has conservatives in a leadership role.
Why can't I see people's comments without signing up? Why an open letter but not an open platform?
When is GEOTUS coming over?
OK I just joined and gotta say - pretty, pretty, pretty nice
