Do they also condemn or apply moderation to violence being advocated? Or is it condoned? Honest question, I have not even remotely invested enough time (nor do I plan to do so) to understand this facet.

> I've reported lots of such tweets and sometimes they're taken down, other times, not.

I agree that such messages should be taken down and condemned just the same.

I'm saying that violence is not condoned on the Parler platform. I was a moderator for a while and this is quite specific. You can get on there and say Trump is an idiot or Trump is a saint and you will not be silenced. But you can't say "so-and-so should be killed" that's a total violation of TOS and will get you removed from the site.

I'm not familiar with Parler, but places like that in general, people just find the closest of threat / incite that passes moderation. And everyone who frequents there knows what is implied.

My personal "favorite" of such: "this country is not safe for you". Not a threat, just stating a fact.
