I'm not personally comfortable with the easy bake radicalizing from that so to speak and is what pushed me over the edge in being okay with the ban. We wouldn't tolerate a place where it was easy to breed other types of extremism why is this any different was my thought.
They’ll translate it as “it’s not that bad”.
“It’s only a few steps away from OANN”
“That means the first bunch of stuff is normal people talking about conservative talking points.”
“Sure, not a place I’d like to hang out, but I’d see why it may need protection even if I may disagree, that’s what I’m trained to do.”
Yeah no.
Parler actively removes people who bring in the “liberal” point of view.
I’ll even grant, that removal by ideology is a necessary tool for political moderation.
But that still means that parler is an echo chamber, amplifying beliefs that the “election was stolen”, “democrats will destroy the country.”
Isn’t this what is happening to conservative voices? Further do you have evidence of this?
Do you know there’s gaming and other non political content on Parler? It was born out of politics so the majority of content is still focused around it.
Why don’t you see it for yourself instead of letting your imagination run wild?
I have been on Parler, briefly to validate all the claims of constant, unabated, hate speech and found nothing of the sort. Will I continue to use it? Unlikely, but I don’t use social media. I wouldn’t call it hotbed of right wing extremists though.
Basically, a lot of folks are asking: Why are we censored, when they aren't ? Why the extraordinary double standards? When someone talks about peaceful protesting and is banned for incitement for violence, why is someone calling for explicit murder allowed on Twitter (with accompanying graphical images).
Apply the rules equally, or not at all.
It seems that not many people have been to parler, and very few links to screen shots or other evidence is available.
Unfortunately - and this really is just what usually happens - the noble arguments for free speech get converted into a shield to add respectability to parler and hate speech.
And if the trend continues, more political or even subversive content starts appearing in the sub, at just the angle to take advantage of the blind spots of forum goers.
It’s happening here, I’m seeming that dumb path finding algo for indoctrination playing out over the past three threads.
