Let me preface my comment with these thoughts.
Twitter is a biased left-wing powerful media company and should be strictly regulated as public utility.
Twitter is the elephant in the room and needs some serious competition.
Currently {GAB](https://gab.com/) is an attempt to provide some competition to twitter but hasn't connected with people and Wikipedia (Communist influenced) describes it as an alt-right, white supremacist platform. 4CHAN is.............different . A place for shit posters but mildly entertaining.
Parler has risen to provide a fresh solution to Twitter's blatant bias. This is good but it is poorly implemented for these reasons IMO.
I cannot even view posts if I am not a registered user. I don't even know what I am signing up for. I tried to contact them, but apparently I must be registered before I can even offer suggestions. Catch-22
I don't use a smart phone regularly. Parler has a website but I don't even know if the content is viewable or if I could even post via my PC browser if I were a member.
If I were a content provider or politician I wouldn't reach my audience to the fullest potential. I hope they their reconsider their policy. I like to try before I buy.
I agree 100%.
I decided to check out their website to see how it is. Can't see anything without signing up.
Go to sign up, wants an email and a real phone number to text me a code.
Fuck that. Email isn't a problem, I can use 10-minute email, but there is no way I am giving out my real phone number. Like I don't get enough junk calls/texts as it is.
