How Silicon Valley destroyed Parler

Have you ever been on Parler? I had never heard of it until the left decided to cancel it and it made news. So I went there a couple of days ago, and saw nothing of which you speak. Certainly nothing that would equate it to an “Antifa social media network”.

Speaking of Antifa...if Parler is equivalent to it...it’s bit hypocritical that they still have a Twitter account: https://twitter.com/antifaintl?s=21

I did go on Parler a few days before the Capitol attack and it was pretty crazy. Not everything was violent, but definitely a different take on virtually everything. And definitely calls towards violence and overthrow mixed in. Haven’t been back since.

Note, Parler does have a Twitter account too. I have not heard people looking to ban that — so really not hypocritical at all.

Interesting, because I went on there after the attack and found nothing of which you speak. I found no plans for attacks, calls to violence, or anything else. There were a few links to pro-Trump news articles, but that was about the most “right” thing I saw on there.

OK, you were on a very different version of Parler than I was on. And different than the one that Amazon noted in their response to Parler or all of the various articles that I've read written about Parler. Maybe we all just ended up in the bad part of Parler.
