Dan Bogino has a stake in Parler and evidently it's use is exploding. This is the only social media I use....but if I had done Twitter I'd be with Parler now..
The number of people switching over to Parler is quite impresive.

Tried it for a while. Not much going on there right now. Maybe I'll try it again down the road. I don't Twit or Fascist Book either.
-
Don't forget gab.ai
I never did Twitter but I'm told it's similar to Twitter, but not censored. I upgraded to a Pro account to give them some $ support.

Parler is to social media right now, what OAN is in the broadcast news industry. They have nowhere to go but up, because they are all that's left who supports the conservative base in this country. Fox News has abandoned it's viewers, and gone liberal. A blind man can see it.
So much so a large group of Trump supporters surrounded, and drowned out one of Fox's reporters during a live broadcast. With shouts of, "F*#K Fox News!!". It was really beautiful to watch and hear, and see the shocked expression on the anchors face, (Shannon Bream) when they cut back to the studio. There is going to be a lot more of this.

I've been telling you for 13 years that "the High road", being "better than that" was a philosophy of gutless losers.
Now that you are facing loss are you finally ready to do unto others ?

I only hope and pray that the same thing doesn't happen to Parler and OAN over time. Money has it's own way of corrupting the corruptible. Just look at how far Fox has changed from when they came out in the 90's.

Been watching Newsmax since Fox was a Judas and stabbed America in the back.

I've been on Parler for about 6 months right now, and it used to be as you described. Now, it's hard to keep up with everyone who's moving over.
I'm gdlemail on Parler - invite me sometime! ;D

My real concern is that Google, FB, Twitter, or even the WaPo will buy them - money does talk, and sometimes loudly when you want a thorn removed. We'll see.

Maybe I’ll give it another try.

Is there any way to create a Parler account without giving them your mobile phone number? It has an asterisk by it. (Which I assume means it's required). I just don't want to get bombarded with crap. I already get a ton of garbage calls for extended car warranties, along with all the rest.
-
You can find me on Parler, I'm @Majer357

Tried signing up again. There seems to be a problem with verifying that I'm a human. It's not accepting my "CAPCHA" responses. Frustrating.

Got in. Had to use a different email address and phone number than the ones I used first time around. I'm @BrianAChiaravalle

Did you have to give them your cell phone number, or is there a way around that?

Had to give them. They text a confirmation code to that number.

I haven't been bombarded. They just use it to send a verification code when you first log in and if you log in on any other machine. That way you know if someone has hacked you. I have never received anything else from them.

I am there @JWKennedy

Do they have RELIABLE news feeds ?
-
Do they have RELIABLE news feeds ?
They are like Twitter. I have not found any news "feeds" as of yet. I don't think it will be any more reliable as it will be only as reliable as the person posting it. MeWe has groups and feeds. I just got on that so time will tell.
-
I only tweet from one end.
And it's not the end that types ;D

I like what I see at MeWe so far. Looks a lot like FB but without censorship.

The Epoch Times is reporting that Amazon is suspending Parler from it's web hosting service at midnight Sunday Jan. 10.
Apple and Google said they were suspending Parler because of violent content just before this. A coordinated attack according to the Epoch Time article.
So it's OK for Twitter, Youtube, etc. to have terrorist violent content and Iranian state hate speech. But when conservatives voices are spoken they are to be silence. Truly, we are the "others" that Michael Bane has been preaching to us for some time now.
So...I was needing a new phone. No Apple for me...I'lm going Samsung. Google I don't use anyway, I use Duckduckgo. Time to dump Amazon.
It's also time to break these monopolies.
-
OK, I'm on Parler.
Same name as here.
-
Kinda done with social media!
Need to connect with real people!
-
Parler was so busy on their servers it took me three days of off/on trying to finally get through.
@ChuckGoins is me. 8)
As far as browsers go, if you want to get rid of Firefox and Google Chrome because of the tracking and privacy issues, there are others that are way more anonymous. A friend told me about one called Tor and I'm trying it out. It's a little slower than Chrome, but that's probably because they "wash" your tracking info so you always show to info trackers as basically online with no identity. Their default search engine is DuckDuckGo.
-
Parler is a replacement for Twitter. I wasn't big on Twitter, and while I have a Parler account, I haven't checked it in 2 months.
MeWe is a replacement for FaceBook. There i'm holding forth a few others.
Been using both Brave and DuckDuckGo as browsers lately. Got the end-of-the-year Google tracking info and while it was cool to see all the places I'd been in 2020, it was also very scary to know that "they" knew too.

@BrianAChiaravalle on the Parler.

Spammers are evidently posting porn and hate in firearms related sites in hope of getting them banned.
Moderators are going to have to be on their toes the next couple of months.
The ironic, sadly, thing is if you "report" the post to platform provider, that then gives them the evidence they need to shut down the whole site, not the spammer.

Yep. Facebook uses that all the time.
I'm an admin for a couple of cooking groups on FB and we ask folks to report spam and unfit posts to admins and not directly to FB (I know FB still sees the report but the 'bots' handle it differently). If you report something to FB, then the admins get a notice that something has been removed and then they "monitor the group" even more closely after that. That's when the flag bots start removing random posts for things like nudity when the photo might be of a cucumber or something.

This is the biggest problem with ALL of this social media. It's not the site, but rather who's "domain" it is listed on. Be it Google, Chrome, or whoever. Until there is a conservative hosting site, it really doesn't matter what the media site itself will "allow" or not. Because there is always someone else higher up the food chain than can crap on the whole game if they don't like it.
That's why I don't think it was a good move for Liz Wheeler to leave OAN for You Tube. They could pull the plug on her anytime they feel like. And say she's using, "hate speech". That's how I got kicked off.

Look at the aggravation Forgotten weapons gets for Flag thumb nails on his video's .
For that matter, C&Rsenal got flagged for "gun sounds" in their Lewis gun Minute of Mae.

You're posting nude cucumbers? Where's this group? Asking for a hungry friend.
-
Looks like Parler is back...sort of. The website seems to be somewhat functional, but still no sign of the app (deleted mine like a silly person). Their customer service told you can continue to use your account you had before it went down, but you can’t set up a new account just yet.
-
Dumped both FB accounts.
Got MeWe, but it's a waste of my time .
Screw them all.
-
I have an account but don't look for me over there. Messages there are way to short and obtuse.
-
Trying MeWe for the 3rd (4th?) time.

I'm there, mewe, and will except your invite.
Right now, all my mewe friends are highly pro gun. Facebook has casual friends and family. That dichotomy may remain for some time. My posts will reflect as much.

Highly pro-gun is good.
