parler.com

Parscale, Nunes, Gen Flynn, Bongino, Breitbart, Daily Caller, ZeroHedge, et al. are all migrating there.

When @Jack's head finally spins off into another dimension and he terminates @realDonaldTrump's twitter account, Parler is going to be the landing spot for free speech in social media.

YouTube - Parler 101

ETA: Here's a random list of some conservative voices I believe are solid follows.

Tweets from Trump (Bot Mirror account from @RealDonaldTrump Twitter): @TweetsFromTrump
Brad Parscale - @Parscale

The second that happens, Apple and Android will make it incompatible with their operating systems.

Would that open them up to litigation?

Would it matter? By the time any legal action is finally resolved, Parler would have already dried up.

I hope/wish you are right.
But...Celebrities are what makes Twitter. They have to switch and that probably won’t happen.

Then we switch to other operating systems.


How can I buy stock and make money off of these switches?

If you're only into following celebrity accounts, you're likely not impacted by free speech (i.e. conservative wrongthink) limitations on Twitter, so you wouldn't be in the market to make the move.

The prefab argument against this is that "Parler is an alt-right echo chamber".

GAB had this happen, and their answer was to re-engineer their site that their mobile browser page effectively functions as an app.

Personally, I prefer GAB, but the big names aren't on there like Parler. I saw the writing on the wall when they started sponsoring Dan Bongino.

At the end of the week, last week, Dan Bongino announced that he's taken an investor stake in Parler. He didn't talk numbers, but apparently thousands of new accounts were created afterwards.

All we need is POTUS, and we're golden.

Trump should already be using another platform as a backup. You can tell Twitter is building towards a ban. They are gonna time it for maximum election impact.

It's not a bad platform. Hopefully, there will be continual upgrades as more users migrate over. I am still on Twitter because that is where the fun is, for now, anyway.

Anyone with a Parler account will be labeled a racist.

This is the free market and this is much, much more preferable to the government picking winners and losers

I hope Parler takes off

There is nothing free about the tech oligopoly. Google and Apple will do everything they can to make life miserable for this Parler app

Even for adults? Professional types only care about following celebrities?
