Pretty much.
What I find troubling is that despite containing the same cesspool of vile content, Twitter never got booted from Google and Apple App stores, and AWS.
The difference being that on Parler the 'cesspool' as you call it is all there is, or at least it is the main attraction.
On Twitter it is easy enough to find, but an average user mostly does have to go looking for it, or at least be following someone who goes looking for it. Twitter also does make efforts to drain the cesspool, although it can certainly be debated whether those efforts are sufficient or even being made in good faith.

I agree Parler is/was shit and yay for its death, but there IS a non-trivial amount of extremist stuff on Twitter as well and IMO letting this stuff persist just creates further division.
The second two are pro gun ownership - which would be perceived as appeals to violence in most of the world, but in the US is a perfectly common political position.
So this fails to support your false equivalence re: Parler and Twitter.
There's actually plenty of extremist hate filled bile on twitter, but these are terrible examples. Search "#killallmen" for some readily accessible examples.
Still, kind of absurd to suggest it represents the mainstay of content on the platform.
Yeah, you can twist the last 2 into a political position. But given the context, they seem to me to be appeals to violence.
I mean look at just a few tweets down on the same pro gun user:

How is this not inciting violence? What else could "seizing the means of production" possibly mean in a tweet that literally shows off his/her set of assault weapons?
Or literally talking about killing pigs?

I absolutely don't disagree that there are racial problems that we need to solve, or that the police need reforming. All I'm saying is that by not acknowledging that maybe this needs dealing with too, we are still going to have backlash by the other side.

Also this was the very reason Donald Trump's account was finally banned, despite YEARS of that rhetoric.
You are troubling if you really find that
And I don't even have a twitter account.
Without a Twitter account you claim that Twitter has the same vile content?
