And yet mysteriously I'm fairly certain that person didn't just "have" an account there...

I haven't found any evidence that she posted anything offensive.

According to (https://reclaimthenet.org/literary-agent-fired-gab-parler/) and (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25924637) her Gab and Parler posts were mirrored from Twitter.

Newsweek's story on the firing (https://www.newsweek.com/literary-agents-firing-over-parler-...) doesn't mention any offensive posts on Gab.

None of the Reddit discussions I have looked at mention any offensive posts either; I would expect Reddit to find such posts if they had existed.

I have no idea, but neither did the people who fired this person. It was purely on the grounds that he had an account there.

She, not he.

> Colleen Oefelein, who identified herself on Twitter as an associate literary agent with the Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency, appeared to confirm her termination in a tweet on Monday morning.

> "Well thanks Twitter and @JDLitAgency," Oefelein wrote. "I just got fired because I'm a Christian and a conservative."

"The Jennifer De Chiara Literary Agency was distressed to discover this morning, January 25th, that one of our agents has been using the social media platforms Gab and Parler."

I had the same thought...
