Seems to be the newest safe space for those (at least in my FB timeline) that think the 1st Amendment extends to posting conspiracy theory memes to social media run by private companies.

<-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><->
<-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><->

and never actually stop posting on twitter and fb.

if we could really quarantine them on one single social media app then the world would be a better place because of it.

Looks like the app is having problems keeping up with the demand.

they throw a fit and join.

then they realize how shitty life is only talking to shitty people like themselves all day.

as it turns out, when you limit your hiring pool to people who are willing to have a known racist app on their resume

you don't get the top notch developers

I just read what people post and converse with a select group.

Helps me keep tabs on what's going on outside my little bubble.

I hear you, I "lost" most of my hardcore republican "friends" when Obama was in office, the few that still remain learn to keep keep their political opinions low-key and respectful, I used to trash 45 a lot on my page when he was first elected until I decided not to give him as much energy and advertisement, I try not to even type out his name

And *I* certainly don't need more right wing nonsense in my feeds.

So...no.

They sound just like they did when Obama got elected.

It's a whole lot of sky-is-falling, socialism-is-coming junk.

there is no one who has access to pics of my family who's joining parler

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

or strangers (very often) anymore.

So there isn’t much risk to seeing what’s going through people’s minds that I don’t agree with.

I never engage them though.

you can literally just follow people who monitor these kind of dickweasels and not have to actually expose yourself to them

that's how you end up putting yourself through that and still being years late to hearing about parler

it's just inefficient.

there is a point to knowing what the misinformation is that's out there, but if you are relying on some hate follows to get it to you, you're going to miss the important context anyway and just waste your time.

you either have to dive in all the way or just not do it at all

2005 nopayne is frowning at this response

i've never heard of parler but I do know about gab and voat and I've even gone as far as creating accounts to see what the fuck it is these loonies are talking about. just, do not btw. It's as trash as you would imagine it to be, no, actually, it's worse than that.

The funny thing is, they want a safe free speech place on the internet but they want it without the icky incel, nazi, extremist bits.

"I want to be a piece of shit on the internet, but those nazi's over there are fucking it up for everyone"

Mike? Mike, shut the fuck up, you can't have it both ways. We already created a lane for you to dance around racist ideology, you can't be mad if wanting that extra inch pushes you over the line into actual hardcore ideology.

much they suck and promote infighting.

Also see that you can just reproduce a twitter or a facebook but to create a cesspool is pretty simple.

Which is what we also go to these social media apps for.

They’ve always kinda sucked at political humor tbh. Remember all the Poor Man Daily Show rip offs that Fox News tried out during the height of Jon Stewart?


Parler feels like that

because they have no sense of self. it's all reaction.

so they build these free speech apps, then they look around and there's no one there to bounce off of, and that's it.

all the right-wingers promoting parler, gab etc never actually use those platforms, they just post on twitter and facebook telling people to use them because otherwise no one would ever see it.

it is indeed all reaction. And projection

*insert Gene Wilder tell me more here*

dog pics, and life updates. I don't go there to see people's opinions. Those are just an unfortunate byproduct.

The fact that they are marketing it as the "free speech social network" means it's not something I'm interested in.

it seems to have died down a bit after the election thank goodness


but many people got muted on my feed lol

I’m the same way..

now i do enjoy shit talking with friends about politics

but when i see someone in their car trying to give a rant.. lmao. Not sure what it is but anyone in a car talking into their phone cam is a fucking liar unless they are being harassed by a cop.

I'm confident that the folks who love it there are still all up on there doing what they do. Using the word 'patriot' a lot fo sho. Still swearing up and down that they know the election was rigged. And slanging out hella hate left and right. And telling themselves that they are in the right and that Murrica is the greatest and nothing has ever been wrong about it ever (expect the libbs and their dreams of killing America with socialism).

We're firmly in the era of people evading disagreements of any kind. So many folks are looking for echo chambers. And now, it seems like hella folks turn bitch quick af as soon as someone doesn't agree with them.

Growing up, I very clearly remember my pops going to places TO FIND DISAGREEMENTS..especially about sports. It was a way for him to test his takes and see if they were popular or not. And folks would know what he was coming for when he got there. IE: the barber shop was a big one.

it's too boring for them to exist in an echo chamber

If you need any help, don't. Hesitate to ask.

but how do you carve out a niche when everyone is screaming the same shit?

Sitting around talking to a bunch of people that believe the same crazy shit you do will get old after a while. They get off on the arguing with normal people. The same reason i wish counter-protestors would stop showing up at Trump rallies.
