I searched this and it looks like it was already explained over this 6 years ago?: https://www.theatlantic.com/culture/archive/2014/03/a-twitte...

I searched that and the top result was a tweet insulting anyone who even says it.

Overall that looks like a pretty hyperbolic statement rather than a credible threat.

Whereas "kill Mike Pence" after a group storms the Capitol building sounds a lot less hyperbolic.

Let the time speaking by itself. Parler will end up in court.

Why ? Because for years, Trump's administration (I don't recall but maybe Obama's also) is fighting against "Fake News", forcing platforms to do fact checking "or else".

A new platform emerging, promoting its lack of control over that will irremediably leads to huge abuses and scandals. It's just a matter of time.

A massive scandal over a year, a closure over two or three tops.

This does seem like the obvious outcome. We just witnessed the self-initiated shutdown of Voat, which was different in concept but similar in intention. Maybe they saw the writing on the wall?
