It's called 'Twitter for conservatives.' So what is Parler?

[UpInArms]

After Facebook, Twitter and YouTube imposed new posting rules to limit the spread of misinformation during the 2020 election, many users turned to smaller social media platforms to share their thoughts.

One such platform, Parler, grew quickly over the summer and continued that growth spurt over the last few weeks. As of Monday morning, it sits atop Apple's iTunes charts as the most downloaded free app.

So what is Parler?

App called the 'Twitter for conservatives'

Look for friends on this app that's been promoted by President Donald Trump, and you'll see many familiar Republican names, including former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani; Sens. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz; and Rep. Devin Nunes. There's also the right-wing pundit Stefan Molyneux, who was booted off YouTube over the summer, and former congressional candidate Laura Loomer, who was banned from Facebook and Twitter.

a new sewer ....

1. Twitter for Losers

There, I fixed it for you.

2. It has lie correct...

If you accidentally tweet something true it corrects it right then and throws in a few misspellings

11. Good one!

The Golden Girls approve

3. I saw a few tweets from cons and they were all whining about how it doesn't work. FWIW

4. Clearly they needed a platform with stronger spellchecking.

[Clearly fogged in]

5. It's the equivalent of a duty roster

after reading a humorous bit about a library going there, I went to look. The hierarchy is top down from the talking heads. They will inform the masses of policy and procedures. A how to guide in fascism.

6. Fun fact: it's technically pronounced parlay

It’s also pirate talk.

7. A virtual collection of assholes? nt

[bbernardini]

8. Twitter for white supremacists. nt

9. We should all set up fake accounts and have some fun, need to get

the tiktok crowd doing it too

[dustyscamp]

10. A hive of scum and villiany

[anneboleyn]

12. They pronounce "parler" as "parlor" -- that's how dumb it is -- a French word mispronounced

(“Parler” = “to speak” in French yet they insist it should be pronounced as “parlor” because they think that sounds like a salon-type of meeting space as in enlightenment era France...yes I am serious)

And on top of that nobody really uses it — it was a bad idea poorly executed

[Initech]

13. It's a white supremacist circle jerk.

I think it's hilarious that the people who berated and degraded us for the last for years for being "snowflakes" who need "safe spaces" suddenly need safe spaces. The irony is beyond rich.

14. The Daily Stormer or 4Chan under a new name.

We took Daily Stormer down, and 4Chan has gone down many times with DDOS attacks. So, get to work, kids. No safe spaces for nazis.

15. Discussionist Part 2?

[octoberlib]

16. Twitter for white supremacists.

17. An echo chamber.

It's bound to fail as a competitor to Twitter because only right-wingers will use it, they will just agree with each other, and there will be no one to stoke any good back and forth debate with.

To be fair, DU as a social media platform would probably fail for the same reason, but we're a political message board, so...

18. Is it how morans spell...

...parlor?

19. My ex SIL posts there

He is a creep and a 46 year old jobless, and now lives with his parents, no child support paying abusive asshole, who recently annoyed me.
Again. So I troll him a bit in Instagram.

Looked him up. I found his posts there. I’m not saying he is the standard for posters there, but he is certainly one of them. Believes Trump will “win”, posts the cult white suprematist figure Steve Molyneux, and is stupid as fuck.

Anecdotal, but going over there confirmed that the best the Right has to offer isn’t over there, or, rather if that’s it, holy shit so much weird crap.
