Has anyone seen any stats on how many Parler active daily users there are? I’d assume it’s quite small.

And has Kanye already asked for statistics on the number of bots? I mean, it appears as if he's trying to do an Elon.
This looks more like pulling a 'Trump' with Truth Social, since they both got 'yeeted' from twitter and other platforms.
But he’s still on Twitter?
Who are you referring to? Both were banned. Ye was allowed back recently and was banned again days later for anti-semitic tweets:

*edit
Ye/Kanye's twitter was locked, not banned.
Kanye was banned? I thought they removed your content if you were banned.
Yep just clarified, restricted/locked, not banned.

After they leaked drivers licenses and other personal documents uploaded by their userbase for verification, I'd be astounded that anyone is still willing to use that platform.
"700,000 to 1 million (active) as of January 2022", compared to the "20 million (total) as of January 2021". The leak was also in January, 2021.
