Have you tried Parler, the new social media site for conservatives

[BigmanPigman]

who are mad at Twitter and Fakebook? It is funded by the Mercers, the ones who used Cambridge Anaylica to the GOP benefit in 2016. Do you think the conservative right will be flocking to this in the future?

I do not use Twitter of Fake book and just heard about this new site. Not good...like another Fux Ruse influence?

1. They're not conservatives. They don't actually believe in any real ideas.

It's just a cult beholden to a cult leader.

[BigmanPigman]

8. Uh Oh...just as I expected.

[bullimiami]

9. What does "Conservative" even mean in relation to reality anymore?

[Skittles]

16. RACIST

THAT'S what it means

[onecaliberal]

20. 🖕 that

[GoCubsGo]

40. And, misogynist.

[Shermann]

19. They are conservative about how much reality they allow in nt

[Hortensis]

33. Exactly. People are still and always conservative by personality, but

the thin but worthwhile ideology that was traditional political conservatism was purged. And replaced with a new ideology of the evil of Democrats/liberals and training as attack dogs.

[BlueTsunami2018]

2. I joined the other day just to check it out.

It’s as big a cesspool as you can imagine. Racism and lunatic conspiracy theories abound.

[SophieJean]

6. You must have a very strong stomach.

[jimfields33]

14. I can't believe the attention it's gotten

I’d say the owners are thrilled. I won’t even bother. I wish it was banned from discussion on here. Lol.

[Shermann]

22. Parler is kind of a big deal

Conservative news is a pillar of Trump Republicanism and is manipulated to achieve an end result. They pushed the envelope too much this year and are imploding. Elections will be won or lost in the foreseeable future based largely upon how influential it remains.

[jimfields33]

24. That's not good

[lindysalsagal]

34. Freeperville always existed, but it didn't have all the connective tissue, so it was irrelevant.

This thing will do lots of damage.

[underpants]

3. It's nickname is Meinspace. 😁 Russian ties too.

Parler also has a lot of Russian ties as well.

See the good info here.

25. I heard that the Mercer family is bankrolling Parler.

Can anyone verify?

[BigmanPigman]

30. Yes it is...reread the OP and more posts here. That is what got my attention when

I first heard of their site while watching CNN last night. I know the Mercer name and it is never related to anything good.

[brooklynite]

4. I set up an account, but there was nobody I wanted to follow...

[Clearly fogged in]

32. Same here

I wish I knew going in that it is necessary to follow someone to get further. In no way would I give even tacit support to any of the 21 people listed, I wrote my login info down and never went back.

[Marthe48]

36. I figure the FBI will be concerned

My daughter and I discussed it briefly and want nothing to do with it.

I figure someone thought if they created a 'dark web' lite that is accessible, they would make money on the jerks who think they are connecting with bad people.

[Clearly fogged in]

37. There are many someones

I'm not sure I know what the difference is between the jerks and the bad people. On second thought it could come down to the amount of time spent being one or the other, or both. We would all hang if it had the death penalty.

[GemDigger]

5. I do not trust anything that the Mercers have their hands in.

They (both the app and the Mercers) are data miners.

[BigmanPigman]

11. Yes, that's what I heard and was the main concern.

[mitch96]

7. RW echochamber me thinks...nt

[OAITW r.2.0]

10. The Russian honeytrap? No, should I?

[Universal Karma]

12. The mercers

Need to be tried and jailed for treason.

[Crunchy Frog]

13. I'm tired of our country being wrecked by billionaires.

Will they finally be satisfied when we're in a full on civil war? Why do they hate America so much?

[BigmanPigman]

15. I don't know if it is more the love of $$$ than the hate of America.

My father told me about two years before he suddenly died, "The GOP is nothing but greedy hypocrites". It is so simple and succinct and correct. I think money is their first, second and third loves, patriotism is somewhere in the bottom 40 list of things they love. Humanity/help fellow man...doesn't even show up on their lists of things to give a shit about.

[yellowdogintexas]

17. Redneck Liberal did a piece on it the other day.

[questionseverything]

23. He is outstanding

[BigmanPigman]

26. Now that was funny and informative...thanks!

[underpants]

28. Love that t shirt

[Blue_true]

18. Honestly, that is like smelling a building that is wreaking with gasoline, and then

going inside. Personally, I don’t give one shit about where conservatives go to whine, and there is no way that I will follow them to troll them.

[keithbvadu2]

21. Is it like free republic?

[JHB]

41. Yes and no

Yes for the clientele, no, they don't use hamsters to keep it running.

[torius]

27. I saw three typos

on their main, company-written pages. It’s so amateurish lol.

[Maxheader]

29. An opinion...

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/why-parler-s-facing-same-constraints-conservatives-fled-twitter-facebook-n1247792?icid=msd_topgrid

[BigmanPigman]

31. That was a good article...and left me slightly more

optimistic about our future.

[Maxheader]

38. I think lawyers are on point..

The same types of lawsuits that throttled down the big social media nets...

[soothsayer]

35. I visited when it was new and you didn't have to register

There were a hilarious couple days in June when BLM pranked the heck out of them.

[JHB]

39. Also Russian connections

Unrolled thread at ThreadReaderApp: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1327253991936454663.html

So let’s talk about Parler. Where did it come from? Founder John Matze met his now wife, Alina Mukhutdinova, in May 15, 2016 in Las Vegas. Alina is from Kazan, Russia. She was on a two week road trip “vacation” across the USA with a friend.

(This sounds a lot like this USA road trip taken by Anna Bogacheva and Aleksandra Krylova in 2014.) washingtonpost.com/world/europe/r…

John was involved in a couple of unremarkable tech companies with college friend Jared Thomson. After a short stint working at Amazon in Seattle, and being unhappy there, he and Alina return to Vegas and decide to marry. They traveled to Russia in November 2017.

John and Alina were married December 2, 2017 in Kazan, Tatarstan, Russia. They were married in a government facility overseen by Alina’s mother, Gulnara Mukhutdinova, a longtime government functionary. Gulnara’s mother was an “Honored Builder of Russia” in Soviet times.

John and Alina traveled in Russia and in Europe extensively between December and July 2018. They returned to Vegas and launched Parler with Jared Thomson in August 2018. Almost no one joined between August and December 2018; it was in early alpha stages.

***
Also, a preliminary analysis of the first several thousand accounts on Parler shows that it is the usual Russia aligned operatives that we in this space have tracked for years. This is a large scale op aligned with Russian interests.
