They made the same strategic error with that voter fraud hotline.

(23,313 posts)The only good thing about Covid is that I dont have to see any of these yahoos during the holidays. Weve informed the family that we are OUT on any get togethers. I come from a long line of Democrats thankfully. Granted theyve all crossed over but still.

There's also something called MeWe that more like Facebook than Twitter, going for the same crowd of deplorables.

(22,513 posts)Speak. It's an alternative media to Facebook and Instagram, I think, that doesn't give warnings about dubious content or pull an account for overt sedition and hatred. So, trumpers are using it to give free rein to their freedom of speech, abuse of freedom of speech.

(4,741 posts)It was, of course, meant to be pronounced "parlay", the concept being a place to "speak freely" - but the halfwits who are flocking to it call it "parlor", because of course your typical undereducated American wouldn't know a French word if it blew Gauloise smoke in their face, but also because (and I am not making this up) they think of it as the parlor to whence they have retired for "deeply intellectual conversation".

(813 posts)French verb meaning "to speak." Pronounced par-lay. I bet most of them don't know that.

(1,850 posts)It's from the French. Parler, pronounced parlay, means to speak.
The site doesn't restrict what folks post. They can be as Hateful and delusional as they can manage. Not a good place.
I know the site is being monitored by assorted feds, tracking the discussions and plans to cause violence. But it feeds the crazies

Social app Parler apparently receives funding from the conservative Mercer family
Downloads of Parler in app stores skyrocketed in the days after the US presidential election
By Kim Lyons Updated Nov 14, 2020, 5:56pm EST
Social media app Parler receives financial backing from conservative hedge-fund investor Robert Mercer and his daughter Rebekah, The Wall Street Journal reported. The app, founded as an alternative to Twitter and Facebook which bills itself as viewpoint neutral saw nearly 1 million new downloads in the days after the US presidential election, rocketing it to the top of the iOS and Google Play app stores.
Parler turned into a kind of de facto home for conservatives protests against the election including the persistent Stop the Steal campaign after the race was called for former Vice President Joe Biden. Several high-profile conservative social media personalities encouraged people to abandon Twitter and Facebook because of their moderation policies, and instead follow them on Parler.
According to the WSJ, the Mercers, known for giving financial support to conservative causes and organizations, including Cambridge Analytica, have not previously revealed their connection to Parler.

(884 posts)Traffic can still be traced back to the IP address on the outside of your firewall, which could be used to identify your physical location, without ever even attempting to penetrate your firewall. The danger here is one of these nutjobs tracking down your physical address in real life, not just a computer attack.
A VPN, in case you are unaware, blindly routes your internet traffic, so that instead of connecting to parler's servers from YOUR ip address, you connect from the IP address of the VPN server, which could be in Russia, for example.

Before I discovered DU 4 years ago, I tried doing the same thing on the Yahoo boards. Talk about an echo chamber, it's a vast collection of RWNJs there or it least it was at the time. If I hadn't found Democratic Underground I would have quit the internets entirely.
Thanks DU friends, you've saved my life and sanity these last 4 years of ugly nightmare!
