You are a straight up liar
Don't call me a liar if you don't know wtf you're talking about.

Did you actually see that happen
From Parler's legal docs:
quote:
Parler Community Jury
1. A user reports a piece of content—a parley, comment, or user profile.
2. Reports are sent to the Jury Portal for review by members of the Community
Jury.
3. Community Jurors review each report and determine whether the
Community Guidelines have been violated, and also whether they believe
the content is illegal content that should no longer be displayed.
4. The violation reports are passed through a quorum system, in which
four/five “guilty” votes are required for a final “guilty” verdict. In the
system, which operates successively, once either two not-guilty verdicts or
four guilty verdicts are rendered, then a final verdict of not-guilty or guilty is
reached (respectively). Points are then assigned, or content permanently
removed (in the case of illegality), as appropriate.
5. Users can view the reports that have been made about their content under
Moderation > My Violations > Recent Reports.
6. Users will be warned via a notification whenever they receive violation
points. It is then their responsibility to monitor the total number of points
accumulated. Points lapse 90 days after they are assigned, but users
accumulating 20 or more points at any time will be banned.
7. The Community Jury is composed of volunteer, verified Parleyers, who
participate in regular training sessions to address any questions they have
about applying the Community Guidelines
Those interested in learning more, or in becoming a member of the Community
Jury, are encouraged to follow @ParlerJury .
Sounds like a recipe for free speech, right?

You mean like getting downvoted to oblivion on reddit?
I asked for instances of people getting banned, not their TOS.

No you just get downvoted and then shadow banned if you don't go full libtard on r/politics

quote:Oh my bad, I didn't realize I had to do exactly as you say. Very easy to find many instances of people complaining (or laughing about) being banned from Parler. It's no secret that tons of people have been banned. And I quoted for you their own process by which it happens, and how easy it is to do. What the frick more do you want?

Nobody should receive death threats simply for running a social media platform, but it's a complete myth that parler is the epitome of "free speech". They aggressively moderate liberal ideas on their platform, which is their right, but not really any different than what we're complaining about FB and Twitter doing. They just don't have the reach those platforms do.

What have they censored?
Think of it as the conservative version of Democratic Underground. Liberals and their viewpoints are aggressively moderated.
I don't really care as it's their right and I don't use the platform, but I'm growing tired of this nonsense about them being so much more fundamentally open to all viewpoints than mainstream social media. It's just a conservative group think platform, nothing more.

He's right, albeit perhaps embellishing SLIGHTLY. Parler utilizes a volunteer user "jury" form of moderation, where reported posts/account are reviewed by users who determine whether it is appropriate to stay up. Essentially what happens is conservatives report liberals into oblivion until their accounts are banned by these "jurors", who are going to be almost entirely conservative themselves given the makeup of the platform.
It's exactly what anybody who understands how social works predicted would happen.

Yeah, it was purposely designed to promote groupthink. You seed the site with like-minded individuals, and then give them the power to eliminate opposing views with only 4 votes. I don't care how they run the site, but a bastion of free speech it is not.

I agree that ALL social media are designed for echo chambers. That’s what humanity desires. We are tribal, and if given the option, we want to surround ourselves with people “like us”
I don’t know why you think that is some gotcha. It’s honestly perplexing. Of course parler is a “right wing” version of Twitter. Why would lefties leave their echo chamber? It doesn’t fit their base nature of desiring conformity.

You typically don't see comments with negative downvotes.

Actual examples of it happening. If it's as rampant as you say, should be easy to find.
