Conservatives fleeing Facebook to Parler

[bluevoter4life]

Has got to be the snowflakiest, safe space-iest thing I've seen in a long time.

1. Wait until they find out it's principal owner is...

George Soros🤣

[DeeNice]

6. LOL well played. nt

[JHB]

27. Clever, but let's take a real look while we're at it...

(Sorry for just pasting a tweet and not the text separately, but I'm doing this from a mobile device and my thumbs aren't coordinated enough to manage that)

29. Soooo - I was not aware of that - thank you

When Facebook deleted Russian misinformation posts and accounts all my Q ‘friends’ were complaining that Facebook was deleting the wrong accounts. Perspective is everything

[Moostache]

2. I am going to go start one as a spoof and see how long it takes them to realize it...

Hell, most of them believed Colbert's act, should be easy to dupe the fools.

I am going to turn up the stoopid to 11 on everything...and even THAT might not be enough to stand out...

[ResistantAmerican17]

12. Remember, BUSH fell for Colbert's act.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

3. Good

[Thomas Hurt]

4. My "libertarian" step brother announced his departure to Parler recently. meh

[Shermann]

11. Report back when he learns how much "free speech" they actually have over there nt

[Thomas Hurt]

21. He isn't really a libertarian, his libertarianism only extends to the right's freedom to be racist

and believe in the deep state, ya da, ya da.

[OneBro]

5. Were they trying to spell "parlor," as in a reception room or public space?

[MineralMan]

9. Parler is the French verb that means "to speak"

You know, freedom of speech. Of course it's only free if the owners of the site agree with what is said.

[OneBro]

13. Ha! So the Freedom Fries crowd is cool with French now.

[C_U_L8R]

7. Sounds french.

Maybe they serve frites de liberte

[Moostache]

14. I'm sure they say it with a hard redneck accent...

Its not "par-lay" (as the French pronunciation would be)...more like "par-lur" (with a heavily slurred second syllable)...

[shanti]

28. Was wondering about that

You're probably right.

[apcalc]

8. Well.... maybe we should go there too! Wink wink.

[exboyfil]

10. Nah just be ready to slap them down if the insane stuff

makes it into the real world.

Hopefully LEOs are monitoring them for terrorist threats and planning.

[BlueTsunami2018]

17. I like step three.

Everyone should get behind that one.

[Shermann]

16. I guess "deplatforming" is a thing now

Republicans are wrapping themselves in the warm embrace of victimhood with this "deplatforming" talking point.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deplatforming

I don't see it that way. They have been purposefully "flooding the zone with shit" as Steve Bannon puts it. The lies, the conspiracy theories, the projecting about fake news, the distractions, the nonsense.

They didn't get deplatformed, they got moderated. There is a difference. All conversations have to have ground rules in order to be civil and fair and productive. They can take a time-out in Parler until they learn to respect them.

[Spazito]

18. Good, Mark Zuckerberg's defense of Steve Bannon....

was nauseating, it's too bad everyone wasn't leaving Facebook. I know the nutcases are leaving for a whole different reason and I see Parler becoming the modern equivalent of free republic over time.

[The empressof all]

19. Easier for the FBI to track them

It's a no brainer to keep all the wacko's and white supremist terrorists in one place.

[Lars39]

22. Might be FBIs creation.

[torius]

20. I saw several typos on the Parler info

pages, the ones written by the site people. Its so amateurish lol.

[Baked Potato]

23. Good, be gone!

They will have yelling contests to see who can echo the best.

[BlueTsunami2018]

24. I just joined to see it for myself.

It’s a bigger cesspool than you’d believe. Should be fun for a little while.

[Hortensis]

25. A "safe haven for those too extreme for Twitter."

Guessing Hitler would have loved to be able to rant and spray spittle with all his cultists in one place.

Well, we'll see how this goes. They're bad-trouble makers and will do that wherever they gather, but that doesn't mean they won't continue to self defeat. And they're scaring people, which is good.

[Shermann]

26. A real test of Parler's "freedoms": criticism of organized religion

The last conservative forum I was on had a rule against criticism of religion. That included respectful criticism. As an atheist or skeptic, 100% of what makes you you is fair game to be ridiculed over there. But a big big part of what makes them them is sort of roped off.

[NutmegYankee]

30. Only people on Parler are Nazis and Pedophiles.

It says a lot about them. Pass it on.
