“Parler is a United States-based microblogging and social networking service launched in August 2018. Parler has a significant user base of Trump supporters, conservatives, and Saudi nationalists. Posts on the website often contain far-right content,[9] antisemitism,[12][discuss] and conspiracy theories.[15] The site has been described as an alternative to Twitter, and is popular among people who have been banned from mainstream social networks or oppose their moderation policies.[16][4][17] The site markets itself as a "free speech" and unbiased alternative to mainstream social networks such as Twitter and Facebook. However, journalists and users have criticized the service for content policies that are more restrictive than the company portrays, and sometimes more restrictive than those of its competitors.[3][18][19][20] As of November 2020, the site had more than 4 million users.[21]”

Parler - Wikipedia


Never heard of this place before, but it sounds very dangerous, and simply adds to all the conspiracy theories already in existence.

What ever happened to old fashioned reading and investigating things using acceptable, reliable long trusted places.

What joy is there in pursuing conspiracies ? None ever are proven to be valid. I suppose the National Enquirer crowd had to go somewhere.

We are killing truth in this country, and not very slowly. Someday, somebody has to stand up for old fashioned truth.

I realize that those who favor this kind of place think Wikipedia doesn’t like them, or whatever the reason they always feel “put upon”, but further reading simply validates this write up.
