Parler is trash. I made an account and was excited about it but after being there, it's completely obvious that it's total trash. They want too much personal information. Their site doesn't even allow lurkers (which kills any kind of political outreach). You can't see what people say and they can't see what you say unless you literally opt in to each other first. Absolutely not a public square in any way and definitely not a free speech platform. To gain FULL ACCESS to all features they even want copy of driver's license and a selfie. (lol)

Yet look at some of the people here defending this totally useless glorified newsletter site, parler. Are they shills, or are they desperate people who just desperately want an alternative twitter? Probably a mix. But the truth is that THIS website (.win) is shooting up like a rocket, is totally open and allows lurkers to see everything with no account or anything like that.... this site should be the biggest focus for 2020 efforts. It's no contest. Parler is a waste of fucking time at best, and a identity stealing honeypot at worst.

it's only a matter of time until Parler goes down due to financial issues

Or due to pissing off the wrong people. Wait til some well-connected channer tries to delete the account they made out of curiosity, and finds out they can't.

100% agree, i emailed about having my account deleted a few days ago, nothing but crickets

Parler glows in the dark so bright that you can't even look directly at it

Smelled this fucking trap a mile away. Person who started it probably was approached by commies with money and sold it off with an NDA.

Trumpican 3 points ago +4 / -1

I smelled this knowing what a technical nightmare it would be to do what they promised. Too much hype, and I think hubris that is their downfall and not commies

So to play devils advocate here, Parler has seen MASSIVE GROWTH over the past three days or so. There are gonna be bugs, glitches, and frankly bad customer service until they can hire the right people to do the job.

So I would give them a pass, if you read the thread he's been following up directly WITH THE CEO OF THE COMPANY.

Try getting in touch with Jack Dorsey about your complaints over a ban on twitter.

Playing devil's advocate here is a fruitless endeavor at times. The unfortunate consequence of this group is that EVERYTHING is out to get you... Parler, Gab, .win, doesn't matter. There are always a bunch of people wanting to say "I told you so" if it does end up being a failure to stroke themselves off, so they just shit on everything and claim it's all part of the "plan".

"You're just falling for the trap, sheeple"

If everything's a trap just drop off the grid and move into the fucking woods already. I don't get the stubborn insistence on sticking around at that point.

HeavenlyTrumpets 7 points ago +11 / -4

Parler obviously sucks. I have not seen anyone criticizing gab the way you're saying, and people criticizing .win were just power hungry people who were angry their influence was ending (long story).

5
FitOfficial 5 points ago +5 / -0

It's new. .win wasn't very good when it started either. It takes time and money to develop software and add features.

It seemed to me like it was like some kind of portable /pol. And Im not that into /pol. I mean don't get me wrong I love them like a cousin, but it aint my bag. All the actual far righters were over there... so many it felt like one giant honeypot to me. Maybe it wasn't but I found it was difficult to sift through the garbage to get to the spice.

4
rooftoptendie 4 points ago +4 / -0

also, you have to consider that these are our PRIME shill hours... and the fact that even regular pedes are divided on the topic of parler... add that all up and you have a shitfest.

I'm on the fence, but imho, it aint lookin good for them. Mainly because nothing is visible to non-users. If they want the success theyre after, they should think about changing that.

gab. GAB. what the hell is so bad about gab?? because their CEO is religious and doesnt like porn? idgaf!

in fact, they created an insanely innovative and useful tool/browser called dissenter and it hasnt gotten nearly enough love.

fucking gab bro, why is gab never mentioned. I dont get it.

So i can choose Jesus-based censorship on Gab, Marxist-based censorship on Twitter or Neocon-based censorship on Parler, with a side of doxing.

6
thelastlast 6 points ago +7 / -1

Gab does censor porn. is that necessarily Jesus based?

anyway I take your point. mine is that you can join Gab just like you can join twitter. Parler is a shady join process.

HuggableBear 3 points ago +4 / -1

If I have to choose, that's a pretty easy one. i can find porn anywhere. I'm not exactly missing out if there's one place on the internet that it's not allowed and in return I get free speech.

HeavenlyTrumpets 4 points ago +4 / -0

dissenter needs to be able to be default open for it to be useful. I understand why they don't want to do that but the reality is that having to check every page to see if someone has used dissenter is ridiculous.

lol... not even close. "everyone is on parler"... parler is a ghost town unless you add people and they add you. people didn't join gab because they are scared pussies. Truth.

readysetgo 1 point ago +1 / -0

imo the issue if gab is that its just and only right wing memes. these platforms need some non political stuff to really succeed.

3
HeavenlyTrumpets 3 points ago +3 / -0

I was really excited about dissenter but the fact that you have to OPEN dissenter on every web page to see if someone has commented, makes it also practically useless. If it remained open it would be awesome, but I see why they worry about leaving it open.

The extension on PC works nicely, you can quickly see if there's dissent.

it's being downloaded because of curiosity. it's being deleted quickly too. interestingly, parler does not allow you to delete your account at will. they have to approve it and delete it for you. what kind of garbage is that? lol. I don't really use gab but it's way better than parler... both of them are substandard though and don't provide what we need in the here and now which is accessibility and outreach.

As far as I'm concerned, no one is on Parler. I literally can't see a single profile or a single thread.

I’m just under the impression of fuck social media. Facebook = deleted, twitter = haven’t used since Obama 1st term. Never used Instagram or snap chat. Social media is garbage.

The internet works best when it's not monetized. Once advertisers move in, it compromises the integrity of any web-based service.

Parler was supposed to be the savior from Twitter. But it turns out it's no different.

Parler REAKS of Candid all over again.

Candid was a Google op to train the AI they then used to censor the shit out of YouTube.

Do you have any resources about candid? google is being the 1984 ministry of truth we know it as.

The best documentation was done by a guy called Harmful Opinions, who is one of the most comprehensively unpersoned people ever, despite being a nobody GamerGate account run by an actual autistic guy who lived with his mom. Google/Candid went after her as well.

Here he is taking with Jim, which you can only find on bitchute.

They answered the TOS. They state (or so it seems) they are not 230 compliant for the reason that if someone "sues" you for something you said, they cannot be held liable unless you pay their legal fees.

I think World Star Hip Hop should be the new Twitter. You can write anything on that platform and nothing is censors. That's true freedom. Thank you WSHH.

Have you tried emailing/tweeting at Dan Bongino to ask about it? I joined and although I hesitated to give my phone number, I didnt do the advanced verification that required a selfie and copy of my driver's license.

I'd like to trust the patriots, like Dan and many others, on there who are pushing it as a social media alternative for conservatives (and others) who have been banned for wrongthink from Twitter and elsewhere. He has a financial stake in the company and I would like to think he wouldnt be involved in something that would negatively impact our privacy or rights.

Bongino contacted him and he won't respond.

He's full of shit and people are buying it.

And then the FAKE MAGA websites arrived, JIT when people were searching for alternatives to POS reddit. Then they fell because people realized that the heads were bought-out big-tech big-data shills.

Go read the Twitter thread, he's not giving an accurate recount of what happened and is being called out for it.

Bongino is asking for details to try to help him and he won't give any.

He doesn't want a solution, he wants to be angry.

twitter sucks but has good bones and functionality. the problem is it's rigged. parler sucks because it has practically zero usefulness or functionality, so at the end of the day who cares about the ideology of the people running it? And it's not like "bugs" that will be fixed later. The problems with parler are things that are built in intentionally. I don't have to worry about "making a dent" in twitter because they banned me 3x years ago and I haven't looked back. This site (.win) makes a bigger dent in the social media world than parler ever could, at least as they currently have it structured.

I looked at it because of KM, but I couldn't even see the posts on it without signing up so fuck them. The current level of interest is passing, only good for closed circles like an email list or a private facebook group. It can't and won't blow up.

2
HeavenlyTrumpets 2 points ago +4 / -2

pretty sure most people do agree. people try something out of curiosity. most people, once they try it, are seeing it's crap. but time will prove me right so keep shilling for the waste of time walled garden if it makes you feel better.

GottliebPins -2 points ago +3 / -5

So basically screw parlor because it doesn’t allow bots to join and view posts and write fake posts like Twitter does and everyone should use Gab which Apple and Google won’t even allow in their App Stores because they want everyone censored? I guess you can all stay at Reddit then. No reason to start a new website. It will require you to log in and be a big boy and put on your big boy pants.

Literally why you should use Gab.

They are obviously the platform everyone is scared of. The fact that Parler is allowed to exist means they are not to be trusted.
