Parler is a United States-based microblogging and social networking service launched in August 2018. Parler has a significant user base of Trump supporters, conservatives, and Saudi nationalists. Posts on the website often contain far-right content,[9] antisemitism,[12][discuss] and conspiracy theories.[13] The site has been described as an alternative to Twitter, and is popular among people who have been banned from mainstream social networks, or who oppose their moderation policies.[14][4][15]

Sounds like a lovely place.

Claims to be unbiased but that's about as accurate as FOX claiming it is fair and balanced.

I think they’re getting tired of Facebook and Twitter flagging RW bs posts so they’re going somewhere they can all circle jerk their s**t together with no recourse.

... them, too. One cousin of mine is fed up with Facebook being so liberal and against "free speech." He left for Parler. I looked it up and think it's a version of Facebook and Twitter (they also hate Twitter) for Trumpsters.

if you’re a someone who gets blocked from every other possible social media site because you’re racist, a conspiracy theorist, violent, or just plain stupid and nobody wants to listen to your crap, you sign up for Parler.

I will be surprised if we ever speak again. He's in TX (when he's state-side) and I am in IL. He's spent most of the last 20 yrs working for contractors in Iraq. I believe one of the contractors was Xe. He is a specialist in training bomb and drug sniffing dogs. He did that in the Army, too.
