I don't do social media but I'd love to see this thing take off. Twitter and Facebook are the bane of society.

Only thing is I wonder if twitter wants that? Do they want conservatives isolated so they can’t “influence” anyone else before the election?

He should Tweet that people should join Parler and leave Twitter. How long would Twitter let that stay online? It would not be violating any of their nonsense rules.

Just signed up. Parler seems to have a comparable format to Twitter. There’s def potential to grow.

Not a fan of the obvious bias & unwarranted banning happening on Twitter.

What do you think would happen if you set up an 8th and followed Biden and Talcum X? Just to get past the initial bot sniffers?

If you just leave it web based with a mobile site (just like tigerdroppings does) then you don't need an "app"

OP is now updated with a few dozen recommendations for those who are conservatives fed up with the censorship of Twitter/LifeLog.

I joined in May of last year, but didn’t really use. Just signed back in.

What do the different blue and yellow images on some accounts mean? Is that like verified accounts?

Well then they probably shouldn't have made app development open source.

No Gab app in the Apple store.

People like to use these social media platforms easily on their phones.

Gab, rightly or wrongly, was maligned and immediately discredited.

Obviously they'll try that with Parler, but with big names coming to it so quickly, I think it's got a better shot.

Yes, that's my understanding. The Yellow/Gold "P" logo seems to be for media figures. My color scheme is different, I have it set up for a red base, so the other symbol is red for me.

The others are verified as real people, aka Parler Citizens.

Excellent question. The population is growing daily, so it really depends on what your interests are. It's being widely accepted as a colony of Twitter refugees, so the population will be disproportionately conservative due to the fact that if Twitter could act like they had any damned sense, there wouldn't be a need for a competitor with which to flee.

Found the info on the badges.

Like you said, red is a verified real person.

Yellow/gold is verified influencer.

Blue is an affiliate. Basically they allow Parler to post link from their website. NASA is an example.

My verification is pending. It basically ensures that folks are signing up as a unique individual and avoids bot accounts.

They require your phone number to create an account?
