But judging who they suggest I follow....
Ted Cruz
The duck Hunter
Sean Hannity
Kristie Alley
I'm guessing it's just for the OAN audience.

(913 posts)It was started by extremist conservatives who were tired of not being able to lie on Twitter.
It's just like extremists starting the Gab social network.

Parler will die an ignoble death once people realize an echo chamber with nothing to debate is boring as hell.

(3,131 posts)I remember back when software wasnt patentable. You had to have an angle that involved hardware.
I dont work in user interfaces and have no idea what that content might be.
Ill guarantee that Twitter has enough IP attorneys that would be happy to pursue any infringement, but that would all be private unless a settlement couldnt be worked out.
I agree with you on the probable demise of parler as an echo chamber. Toxic to everyone else and ultimately boring for most users.

(10,045 posts)owner of Parler is George Soros. It is not true but I say we just keep it going and let their heads explode, because none of them know how to fact check.
